Teaser:

"So how were you going to get in?" Her pretty face scrunched up in a confused expression. She knew everything there was to know about any electrical device. She was as high-tech as they came. But until she'd spent more time in her skin and out in the world, she wouldn't be able to understand the concept of gut instinct. Disconnecting, swimming freestyle, going rogue. But she'd learn.

This week I am reading Death in the Abstract by Emily Barnes. This is the second Katherine Sullivan mystery. I got the eARC from NetGalley. Here is the description from Amazon:

Retired police chief Katherine Sullivan moved away from Edina, Minnesota to feed her artistic soul in New Mexico. But when she receives an urgent call, her serenity is shattered. Nathan Walker, her best friend and former colleague from her days on the police force, is missing and his crew of security experts hasn’t seen him in days. Now it’s up to Katherine to fly home and track him down.

Meanwhile, Edina is reeling from the murder of a local woman, which looks more and more like it could have a connection to Nathan's disappearance. And as Katherine digs deeper into the investigation, locating Nathan’s abandoned car and compiling a list of potential kidnappers, another body is found--and Katherine fears time is running out for her friend.

Finding herself reluctantly pulled into a new case, Katherine must set aside her artistic pursuits and tear herself away from her darling grandchildren in order to save her best friend in Death in the Abstract, the compelling sequel to Emily Barnes' The Fine Art of Murder.
