 Antonia Scott is a Latina Sherlock Holmes specializing in forensics and trained by a secret organization. Her home life is a hot mess, she's not a bad ass fighter, she's a petite, bad driver, who doesn't like to cuss, and is neruo divergent.

This is the second book in her series. I listened to the audio as an ARC. I had no issues reading this as a standalone but want to read the first book expeditiously and the rest of the series as it's translated. I can confidently say Antonia and her partner Jon are something special.

I loved the writing, and the Guy Ritchie type action.
