He calls it the Body Box. It's a space too small for his victims to sit up or lie down. But it's the perfect place to keep them for his games--the perfect place to watch them while they die.

Can't Be

/> Bad choices and big mistakes have landed Detective Mechelle Deakes on the Atlanta Police Department's lowest rung, the Cold Case Unit. Sifting through forensic evidence and unsolved murder files is a thankless job she shares with her new partner, Lieutenant Hank Gooch, a man of few words and even fewer for African-American female cops like Mechelle. His single obsession is finding a serial killer who preys on the most innocent of victims, a man he thinks is responsible for many of the most gruesome unsolved cases in their files. And one chilling look convinces Mechelle that Hank's right.

Contained

It's a case that has been cold for a reason. Someone wants it to stay closed. And two cops will risk everything--their jobs, their reputations, even their lives--to uncover the truth, no matter where it takes them.… (plus d'informations)

Someone calling themselves Captain Hunger is kidnapping children and keeping them in a box and starving them and finally killing them. Demoted detective Mechelle Deakes is partnered with Hank Gooch, whom she has a hard time figuring out, to crack the case. At times, Mechelle's old life of yearning for drugs, overshadows her need to solve the case. ( )

I have mixed feelings about this book. I liked the story and the way it developed but I really disliked the majority of the characters. I'm not sure that a white man can honestly write a book with a black woman as the main character and do her justice. I feel like her character feel flat. the white male characters were more relatable and believable. ( )

The Body Box is the 1st in the Gooch & Deakes Series. I loved the strong-silent-type character of Hank Gooch. He doesn’t say much, but he can be very funny, at times. This book was very hard to put down. I was surprised who the killer turned out to be.Lynn Abercrombie, is a pseudonym used by Walter Sorrells. I can’t wait to read the next book, Blind fear. ( )

This was just okay. It certainly keeps you guessing, but it's hard to have much respect for Mechelle. She's pretty much a giant screw-up, and not in a particularly endearing way. And since you only ever see Gooch in a way that's colored by her view, you never really feel much for him. About the best thing I can say about it is that it contains an accurate portrayal of rural/poor Southern speech patterns. ( )

I remember really loving this SS story. I've been on the lookout for more by him (can't remember the real name of this author offhand) and can't wait to read more. ( )
