Editorial Reviews
In 1997, the disappearance of three young girls rocked the city of Tucson, Arizona. Eleven years later, one of those girls, Micaela Brashear, comes home--alive.
Detective Laura Cardinal worked homicide for Arizona DPS, but now she's been moved to the Open-Unsolved Unit. With a new job and a new partner who questions her every move, Laura pieces together Micaela's fragmented memories in the hope she will learn the whereabouts of the other two children.
When a man walking his dog finds the bones of a child in a shallow grave on the mountain above town, it becomes clear to Laura that Micaela was the lucky one.
But the killer isn't through yet, and after the fiery death of someone close to Laura, she realizes she faces an implacable enemy.
“J. Carson Black's THE DEVIL'S HOUR is a superior mystery novel in all respects. Fine prose, terrific suspense, believable characters, and one of the most unexpected and satisfying conclusions I've read in a long time. Highly recommended.”
--John Lescroart, New York Times bestselling author of Damage

This is another fine novel from an absolutely mind-blowing new author. How she managed to write all these fantastic books so quickly is beyond me, but this (and all her other titles) are FANTASTIC. Highly recommended.
I read all three books in a week
The best review is to tell you that I read all three books in the Laura Cardinal books in one week. Not because I'm such a prodigious read ... just because I couldn't stop.
The only caveat I'd offer is that the sheer number of characters is sometimes hard to follow. On the other hand, I'm quite sure that is the exact problem a murder investigator must deal with. So, even here, this series is authentic and very much worth reading.

I have enjoyed all of J.Carson Black's novels. However, I do wonder how much more Laura is going to have to suffer. I liked the twists and turns of the plot, but I was disappointed that the ending was so bleak. Her new partner is maimed. She loses almost everything and the hope of having someone in her life is squashed like a bug. But she does get the bad guy. Her counseling that is floating somewhere in the last book, must have shown her how to accept all this stuff and overcome the stress induced anxiety attacks.
Where's Richie? His tiny storyline was just dropped. At least wrap it up, good or bad - give us some closure.
I read to be entertained. As I see it, Laura's life is depressing and that is not entertaining.
