The K Handshape

Dr. Leo Forgach has called his friend DS Christine Morris of the OPP at 5:00 a. m. to help him search for his missing daughter, Deirdre.  Unfortunately they find her body in the lake, weighted down with stones in her pocket and a scarf tightly embedded in her neck.

Morris is a member of a profiling team, and they set to work on the case.  Deirdre was deaf, and worked at a centre for the deaf.  Morris has difficulty getting information from Deirdre's friends, Hannah and Jessica, not only because they are friends, but because they are reticent to tell anything.

Morris and Forgach are shocked when they see his son from a previous marriage and Deirdre together on CCTV.  What is the meaning behind it?

Morris receives a letter mixed in with her mail that is threatening in the same manner of a letter received by Deirdre.  How did the perp find out where she lived to be able to hand deliver the letter?  It isn't long after that that Deirdre's daughter, Joy is abducted.  Fortunately she is later found safe and sound, but that doesn't solve the case.  More work needs to be done in the investigation to do that.

Author Maureen Jennings has written a very good thriller that leads the reader in several directions before presenting the killer.  A good read.
