Special thanks to @hannahmorrisseywriter for the gifted copy‼️
This is book 1 in the Black Harbor series and while the pacing starts off a bit slow it gradually picks up as a web of lies, crime, secrets, corruption, and a forbidden workplace affair is spun into the plot.
Morrissey pulls readers in with every twist and suspicious decision each character makes. Sam’s not so subliminal confession pops off the chaos. Then Hazel’s curiosity about the death of a child overdosing, an ongoing investigation surrounding a known drug dealer, and her mere lack of professionalism throws her in the mix of something with lead detective Nik that she wasn’t really prepared for. Obviously she has a thing for bad boys considering she has an eye for him knowing his background and she’s married to a gun happy abusive psychopath.
I thought it was odd how Nikolai was so cool with including Hazel in his investigation of the Candy Man. But as you get deeper into their mess you realize the plot thickens and nothing happens by chance. I was actually shocked once everything unfolded and the truth was revealed. This book gives off a be careful who you trust because someone is always watching you type of vibe.
Overall, this was a decent read it’s not everyday a police transcriber gets to solve or be apart of a criminal investigation. Morrissey’s premise was very interesting and filled with gritty psychological suspense to the point you literally don’t know who or what to believe. Featuring characters from this book I’m looking forward to diving into book 4 The Unlucky Ones next.
