Wow wow wow. I would read a thousand more books about Daniel and Archie, oh my goodness. Mystery, snark and tight breeches. This was infinitely hotter than most m/m fiction I have read and it only features blowjobs and frottage.
Plus, guns and berserker rage!

Dr. Samantha Owen's husband and two young children are dead, lost during a vicious storm and a powerful flood.
We are told this within pages of the novel's opening, in less exact terms. A Deeper Darkness portrays a woman who is mired in numbing grief with no end in sight. The emptiness, the cold distance, even the newly acquired OCD are deftly woven throughout the story of an ex-boyfriend's murder and subsequent conspiracy that follows. It ends with a promise of a new life for Samantha, but no miracles.

My favorite case so far, but I really can't bring myself to like Ellie's live in boyfriend. Having children is not something you compromise on and it seems like he's just waiting for her to change her mind - Ellie even mentions that possibility! I just feel as if their make-up talk near the very end of the novel is a band-aid, but clearly Ms. Burke was going for the "happily ever after" feeling of true love and shit. Maybe I'm just cynical.
If the author does make her change her stance, I will not be reading any more of the series. Which is too bad, because the cases are interesting and the rapport between Ellie and her partner is great!
I read crime fiction for the cases and the detectives who solve them, not babies. If I wanted family oriented fiction, I could find it literally everywhere.

So glad Ellie got rid of Peter. I really dislike reporters as love interests for LEO characters.
Clearly Ms. Slaughter had such a good time writing and researching Criminal for her Will Trent series that she decided to go back to the 70s-era Atlanta. I'm glad she did, because this was a phenomenal ride all the way through.
It was uncomfortable to read in a way that Bomb Girls is uncomfortable to watch - historically accurate and mindblowingly filled with as many 'isms as you can fit into 400 pages.
I cannot wait for the second book with Kate and Maggie. The world always needs more ladies in charge.
