Tracy Clark’s Echo is the kind of psychological thriller that you will find yourself absorbed in. The perfect plot that piques your interest and keeps you engaged.

The latest installment in the Detective Harriet Foster series by Tracy Clark, Foster tackles the dark secrets of Belverton College’s Hardwicke House, home to the Minotaur Society. The novel begins with the discovery of Brice Collier’s body in a field that claimed the life of another thirty years ago in the same place. Due to Collier's family influence and the similarity to the previous incident, Detective Harriet Foster and her partner, Detective Vera Li, find themselves navigating through privilege, betrayal, and secrets as they attempt to link these decades-apart deaths.

Parallel to Detective Foster trying to solve this case, she is haunted from the death and dealing with the grief of her previous partner. Her journey adds another layer of depth to the narrative as she battles with trying to seek justice for her ex partner, with trying to solve this case. The partnership between her and Li brings a refreshing balance to the book that draws you in and makes you want to root for them to solve the case. On a side note, the supporting characters blend well creating some moments where their banter keeps the reader entertained.

Overall, a good read. Since this is my introduction to the Detective Harriet Foster series, I feel like this could be read as a standalone. This book definitely grabbed my interest to go back to reading the previous two books in the series. For those of you like me who will back read, the first two books in the series are called, Hide and Fall. For those following the series, it looks like we can anticipate the concluding book this fall.
