As with all of the Kim Stone series, I loved this book. It had me hooked from beginning to end. My only gripe would be that Penn & Bryant didn’t have as big a role as they normally do and I adore their characters. That being said I really enjoyed seeing a softer side to both Kim & Frost and I love their banter. Is this the start of a new friendship?

With regards to the case, it’s a gory one. If you don’t like gruesome descriptions then this probably isn’t the one for you. The murders also kept me guessing until the end and the interesting motive added that little bit extra. There’s also a secondary case going on with Frost writing an article about a woman who was murdered by her rich and powerful husband after years of abuse. Things get heated and this definitely adds to the fantastic pace of the book.

The twists and turns in both plotlines made it difficult to put down and the ending has me impatiently waiting for the next book. I keep expecting a dud in this series because it’s been going so long but I think they’re actually getting better.

I received a copy of the ebook via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
