I love a good police procedural, especially one with a strong female lead so I was excited to delve into this one, even if it was book 4 in the series. I will say that while not reading the previous three books didn’t hinder me or prohibit me from fully enjoying this one, I usually like to have the build-up in history from a series such as this. Which means I need to read the other books now. ⁣

There as a lot going on here with multiple plot lines in play. It all definitely kept me turning the pages quickly because I wanted to see where it was all headed and if my suspicions were correct. DC Maggie Jamieson had her hands full with multiple murders, a missing boss and a possible blossoming love interest! ⁣

I love how well crafted the story was and how Holten throws in some red herrings while carefully peeling back the layers, revealing an intricately plotted thriller. Be forewarned, this ends in a mouth open kind of cliffhanger, making you want to jump right into book 5 which sadly we can’t do. We can only hope Noelle Holten is furiously writing so we get to see what happens next soon. ⁣
