Those Who Are Gone
Buried secrets about Inspector Raquel Laing's family are uncovered when she is assigned to the Cold Case unit.
I was surprised Raquel Laing was made the protagonist of a series becuase I thought she was the least interesting character in Back to the Garden. Despite how much more time is spent with her in Those Who Are Gone than in the first book and the revelations about her past, I can't say I find her any less boring than I did before; she's a cookie-cutter "outsider" and the entire book felt interchangeable with any other police procedural out there.
I've read Laurie R. King's books for years and expect I will continue to do so, but I'll be giving any future Raquel Laing books a miss.
