Lin Anderson's The Reborn Gets 5-Star Reviews

*The Reborn* is part of the long-running Scottish crime series featuring forensic scientist Dr. Rhona MacLeod. The series, which began with *Driftnet* in 2003, is known for its blend of forensic investigation and fast-paced action, often compared to a Glaswegian "CSI". In *The Reborn*, MacLeod is pulled into a disturbing case when a pregnant teenager's body is discovered at a funfair with her unborn baby surgically removed. The investigation quickly focuses on a psychiatric patient who creates lifelike "Reborn" dolls for grieving parents, adding a chilling layer to the search for the missing infant and the killer. Laura McCluskey's *The Cursed Road* sees the return of Glasgow detectives Georgina Lennox and Richie Stewart, who first appeared in *The Wolf Tree*. The novel plunges them into a murder investigation in the Scottish Highlands after a young woman's body is found on a remote road with a notorious history, a discovery that links back to a 10-year-old missing person case that has haunted Stewart. The detectives must navigate a community rife with ancient feuds and modern tensions surrounding deer hunting tourism. Both Lennox and Stewart are also grappling with the psychological fallout from their previous case, adding a layer of personal struggle to their investigation in the rugged, unforgiving landscape. Keith Houghton is a bestselling author of over 13 Kindle #1 novels, with more than one million copies sold. His Maggie Novak series centers on a Florida homicide detective forced to confront her own past. The series kicks off with *Don't Even Breathe*, where a Halloween murder investigation uncovers a shocking secret from twenty years prior. The case becomes deeply personal for Novak, forcing her to revisit a cruel high school trick she has desperately tried to forget as she realizes she may be the killer's next target.
