The Olive Park Murders. Some say the most horrific unsolved case in California history.
1997 - Olive Park, California - the bodies of three children are found buried in shallow graves, brutally murdered. One of the most intensive investigations in California history fails to find any trace of the killer and the case goes cold.
Fifteen years later - the newly formed Ongoing Investigation Division, charged with closing cold cases, is handed as its very first case - the Olive Park Murders. Detectives Stan Wyld and Jake Steiner, together with assistant Mallory Dimante, reopen the Olive Park case and find nothing new, until their examination of the original burial site turns up one chilling piece of evidence that proves Olive Park is no longer just a cold case about three dead children.
The truth is much worse. For the twisted killer of Olive Park has never stopped and has already chosen its next victim. And no one will be able to protect her. No one.

Enjoyable
Another new-to-me author with a book that I enjoyed quite a bit more than I expected to, if I'm honest.
We have a cold case investigation into some historic unsolved and infamous child murders, intersecting with the current lives of a couple of orphaned siblings, one of whom recently killed their father, while trying and failing to protect their mother.
I do enjoy a twin narrative. We follow a newly founded cold case team and their civilian support. I enjoyed the covering of old ground, checking the work of the original detective team on the case and the rehashing of events. I liked the dynamics of the team, with the civilian newbie pushing and prodding the detectives towards action as opposed to inertia. Later on we discover her personal motivation. There's a slight suspension of disbelief in the discovery of new evidence at a 12 year old murder site. Later on the two strands converge and there is a satisfying outcome.
Tense, interesting, gripping, exciting. Well-rounded characters - people you care about and a scary villain. Quite a long book for me, but not one that dragged nor one that seemed to be rushed either. Pretty on point.
Olive Park is the first in a trilogy from the author. I'm quite looking forward to the other two.

Olive Park
Wow!What a story! Two children,left alone after a family tragedy,go live with their aunt.She is not a stable person.So many screw ups from so many adults leave the kids vulnerable to a killer.Cold Case oficers come into the picture when they are assigned the search for young children gone missing years ago.How this plays out is amazing! James Romick was a terrific narrator.I could not put down this series.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.'
