Found Innocent by Carolyn Arnold

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Are two “suicides” really murder?

When Madison Knight investigates the death of Lacy Rose, whose body was found in a shallow grave, she can’t believe the woman committed suicide. After all, a suicide victim could hardly bury herself! When the investigation uncovers domestic abuse, drug trafficking, and a rich man setting up Lacy in a swanky apartment, the dominoes start to fall. Those same dominoes smack right into a “closed” case of another suicide victim, a man who died about the same time as Lacy.

Unfortunately Madison decides to reopen a case that could make another cop look bad. That cop is also Madison’s ex-lover, a man she’s desperate to avoid. Madison is a savvy woman and dedicated police officer who doggedly follows her instincts until she solves her case. She’s sure the two “suicides” are really murders, but no one cares about drug users except for Madison. She must learn the truth, no matter who gets in her way.

The more Madison unravels the strings in the complicated life of her victim, the other suicide emerges as a key player in the tragedy. Will Madison’s own personal feelings about her ex hamper her objectivity? When her ex-lover turns up at her door with romance in his eyes, can Madison slam the door on a man she once loved? He may be a lying cheat, but she’s lonely and still yearns for his embrace.

This novel is a riveting, complex story that is more than just a standard police procedural. Madison Knight is a well-rounded character with strong emotions and sharp intelligence. If you’ve read previous books in the series, this is another absorbing episode in a continuing saga. If this is your first Madison Knight book, it stands on its own, but you might be tempted to buy them all.
