This one was a miss for me, though normally I enjoy cold case stories. The last straw of the story plausibility for me was when the MC discharges her service weapon in a civilian residence with a “warning shot” instead of a self defense shot when a possible perp charged her in the space of a single room—and somehow doesn't lose her service weapon, doesn't get benched, and the only repercussion at all is that the suspect threatens to sue her. First of all, anyone could have been on the other side of that wall and been mortally wounded; second, time for giving warning shots prove that there would have been time to pull non-fatal measures such as a taser.
I liked the lead characters for the most part but the emotional development for Charlie seemed to switch very very suddenly from a lifetime of resentment into “everything's hunky dory” and that seemed unlikely.
