PI Lane Holland #3

Reviewed by Helen


I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books in this series and this one as well, I think Lane Holland is a fabulous character and I do hope that there will be more books in the series.

Lane Holland is a private investigator who is now residing in a correctional facility after his last case although parole is due soon he is keen to get out but his thoughts are on what he will do when that happens, investigating is what he does and does well, he has one case that he is keen to solve and that is a missing persons case of Matilda Carver who vanished two decades ago and her father happens to be the warden at his facility and soon he finds himself residing on a farm near Albury and doing a re-training course to learn to become a farmer and this happens to be the last place Matilda was known to be.

Lane starts doing what he does best as soon as he arrives and what he uncovers leads him to more and more, and someone else is here that he should not be with, his parole is on the line here if he steps over the line, will he uncover what happened to Matilda and the other people who have vanished from the farm as well, is the owner of the farm hiding things, or is it a commune or a cult?

Lots of twists and turns in this one as Lane uncovers clues along the way, this one is intriguing as Lane gets to know some of the people living on the farm and stress levels jump as he puts his parole on the line. I really enjoyed this one and it is one that I highly recommend to anyone reader who loves a good mystery.
