A Cold Trail 5 - The End (Pages315 - end)


 RATING: VERY GOOD

SPOILERS!!!

I was right after all!

During the hearing Dean proves that the plan of redevelopment is all a sham, and all the alleged new owners are dead. After the discovery, Gary Witherspoon confesses everything to Roy, and he tells him that he has been a fool and doesn't know anything about these empty societies. It is Sunnie, who is behind all the transactions, and he eventually admits to having got Heather pregnant. He drove her to the hospital, but she refused to have an abortion. Then he confessed everything to Sunnie, who decided to go adn find Heather, and she killed her.

While this is happening, Sunnie has turned up at Tracy's home, and they start talking about old times. Sunnie tells Tracy that she always felt like a third wheel when she was a child and was friends with her and Tracy. Then Finlay appears, claiming that Tracy called dispatch and told him to come. Then Sunnie springs a suprise on them as she produces a revolver. Sunnie confesses everything. She says that it was her father who forced Gary to marry her, but he didn't want to marry her, and their marriage has been a sham. Then she tells them everything: about learning about Heather getting pregnant, when she killed her. When the Johansens hired the lawyer to investigate the crime again, she killed Matthews, and the same happened when Kimberley started devling into the past. Sunnie's plan is to kill both Tracy and Finlay, and set the scene so that everybody thinks that Finlay killed Tracy but she also too a shot at him.

Roy and Faz is worried when they are unable to contact Tracy, and Dan rushes to his home. The police are notified, and when Tracy, Sunnie and Finlay hear the sirens, Sunnie first shoots Finlay and then turns the gun and shoots herself.

At the end of the book Dan and Tracy return home, and now the house has been remodelled to look a bit like the house where Tracy grew up, and she loves it.

I love Tracy and Dan, and the mysteries in the series. In this book I had difficulty understanding the part about land development, but even so, it was a great read.
