Sarah’s List by Elizabeth Gunn is the seventh book in the “Sarah Burke” police procedural mystery series. Publisher: Severn House Publishers, coming August 4, 2020.

A car chase ending with the murder of a senior living center employee draws Detective Sarah Burke into a chilling case where her career – and her life – are soon at risk.

Detective Sarah Burke and new cop Zivko ‘Bogey’ Boganicevic are sent to an incident at Fairweather Farms senior living center in Tucson. The center’s van has suddenly been chased at reckless speed by a carload of bandits firing high-powered rifles, and crashed into its own garage. Arriving at the scene, Sarah makes a grisly discovery: the driver, Enrique Lopez, was shot in the head during the chase. Why was a kindly man, dedicated to looking after the elderly, targeted and killed so dramatically by a team of hoodlums?

As Sarah works through her list of questions, she soon finds herself drawn into the high-stakes world of drugs, deception and mistaken identity where nothing is as it first appears, and she is forced to risk her career – and her life – in her search for answers.

Dru’s Musing:
This was a well-written drama with a solid mystery that kept me immersed in all aspect. The author knows how to spin a story with plenty of red herring and other outside activities to keep me diving into what was going on. I thought I had a handle on where the story was going, but then the author changed directions, all to the betterment of the story. I like the pacing which was on par with how well this story was being told, ratcheting up a notch as the book headed towards its finale. This was a good read and so glad to see Sarah and her family back in print.
