Review of The Sholes Key by Clarissa Draper
Evans & Blackwell #1
5 stars
In this first of the Sophia Evans and Detective Inspector
Theo Blackwell series, young single mothers are being targeted for abduction
and subsequent killing. Blackwell understands it’s a serial killer involved,
but the puzzling numerical and later, alphabetic, codes left with the victims
make no sense; until he meets a government-employed cryptanalyst, the
brilliant, and beautiful, Sophie Evans, whose current personal life and work
status are in turmoil as she had been ordered five months ago to go undercover.
Sophie is tracking a businessman who MI5 believes to be the mastermind of a
violent animal rights group, but she hasn’t been able to discover the key to
unlock the embedded emails ordering a new bombing target.
Theo Blackwell has a personal life in continuous turmoil.
Years ago his beloved wife Agneta was struck by an intoxicated driver. She
survived, but has no memory, much like an Alzheimer’s patient. Associating with
the beauteous Sophie reminds him of all he has lost, but he must persevere
before this clever killer takes out any more mothers.
