Village in the Dark by Iris Yamashita

This book is a sequel to City Under One Roof, although, you don't have to read the earlier one to follow this one. It has many of the same characters and follows strory line from the previous book,

I had mentioned in the blog about the earlier book that the book was successful and the detective, Cara Kennedy in the book was going to show up in Yamashita's future books. She does and also in a continuation of one part of the story. In the earlier books, Cara was grieving her husband's and son's deaths. In this story it appears that they were not really dead and the DNA of the bodies she had buried does not match her hasband's and son's DNAs.  So, Cara is on a mission to find out what happened and track her not-dead family. She is helped by the other people in the City Under One Roof. Bad guys from the previous story are involved somehow. New bad guys are also apparently involved.

Anyway, the story moves along quite well and is quite readable. 

I wonder how Cara is going to return in Yamashita's next book. Will Cara's family die again? That's morbid. I don't think so. Although Cara was on disability leave from the Anchorage Police department, I think Yamashita mentioned that she was accepted into the FBI. And everyone knows that the FBI has no shortage of cases to solve. So, stay tuned from another book from Yamashita about Cara Kennedy the FBI Special Agent.
