A gritty, dark & twisty novel!

'Sometimes what is underground should stay buried...' what a tagline! This novel is intriguing from the start and I didn't want to put it down until the end.

Bilal's writing is engrossing & filled with tense moments. I love Drake & Crane as lead characters they have a really interesting dysfunctional dynamic.

It just missed out on 5⭐because found it dragged slightly at some of the financial details but otherwise it was an engrossing read.

The perfect read for crime fans looking for more than the routine thrills. I certainly will be looking out for the next book in the Drake & Crane series.

This is book two in the series, I didn't feel at a disadvantage having not read the first installment, I think The Heights can certainly be read as a standalone but I am off to find it so I read it now and I don't miss out.

A huge thanks to Anne Cater & Black Thorn for gifting me a copy in return for an open & honest review.
