I have read none of the previous books in the series, but I enjoyed this book with no problems regarding who the main characters are and what’s their part in the story is.

It probably shows why the author is so loved and how great her writing is.

DS Jack Warr is something that I haven’t expected from a detective. He is outspoken, goes beyond his duties and cross lines but also shows that he won’t give up on his instincts and believes if he wants to find the truth.

Believing that there’s much more to the story than the eye can meet, he starts an investigation that will bring a lot of his past secrets to surface.

I found myself intrigued by the story and some twists were very unexpected. The author has done an amazing job of intertwining elements that maybe in other situations wouldn’t work at all, but here they are perfectly mixed throughout the novel. I mean, drug cartels with an old lady story? Cleverly done.

This installment surely opened my appetite for more in the series so I’m looking forward to read more soon.

Very grateful to the publisher for my review copy through NetGalley
