After the traumatic events of book 7 I wasn't sure whether I was going to continue with this series but curiosity and my love for the characters made me come crawling back. Was it worth it? I don't think so.

The author loves a shock ending with a huge reveal but this one just didn't make sense to me. It all just seemed to be for the shock value. Nothing had ever hinted it could be that person.

Then what was left of the team was just a mess and didn't work. Matilda seemed to be the only one still affected and definitely shouldn't have been back at work. She bullied her way through a case and cost people their lives or caused major injury and just glossed over it.

I did enjoy the actual murder case, getting an insight into the prostitutes world and who they are as actual people. Unfortunately poor Carl's case is still being dragged out and we have yet another threatening cliff hanger ending.

Will I come back for more? Probably purely because I loved the first 6 books so so much but if it stays with this kind of pattern then I'm going to have to say goodbye to one of my favourite teams.

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