I absolutley love this series - read the first three and was looking forward to reading Lost Souls. So often I've been let down by a series when they seem to lose their umph - no fear of that here - I think this is the best in the series so far. I read it in a couple of hours! All my favourite characters from the previous books are here - the wonderful Gaby Darin and her side-kick Owen Bates. And of course there's the great Rusty Mulholland to bring a hint of romance to the story. And what a great story this one is - a gruesome find in the crematorium and a missing young girl - they couldn't possible be connected, could they? Along with the story we learn more about the detectives private lies - all so realistically drawn that it's like being with friends and I was sorry when the last page came. Bring on the next one. A solid 5 stars from me since it's the most I can give!
