Blood Passage by Michael J. McCann

*A Donaghue and Stainer Crime Novel*

  A murder scene looks like a drug deal gone wrong.  It's worked until there doesn't seem to be any more evidence then turned over to CCU. Four years later, the case seems to be fully active again. New information has been brought to light that might help solve the murder.  Donaghue and Stainer are working the case as if it's new again. Asking questions, meeting people from the past and taking in the new information.  It seems Martin Liu, the victim, is reincarnated in the body and mind of three and a half year old Taylor Chan.  It might seem random, but Taylor is Liu's cousin's child. He knows to much to be making it up. There are things that don't match up and many more things that do.  At first they think it's all bunk, until they start learning Taylor was dead on in his statements. This might even lead to solving the murder.

  Not your typical police drama with the inclusion of reincarnation. Many crime drama writers wouldn't have taken this turn, but you know what, it works.  It makes the story seem more like something that could actually happen. Especially once you read what the child knows. Action filled and worthy of it's own television show, this book is perfect for those looking for something a little different.  I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  

I didn't find anything wrong. It covered all the bases.

I gave this one a 5 out of 5 books because I didn't see the reincarnation coming and it was easy to accept when it did.
