Second Slice by J.T. Bishop

dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

4.0

Did not realise it was going to be linked to the case of the previous one! That made this book a little more exciting. 

Considering this series focuses around Detectives Daniel and Remalla they don’t turn up for a few chapters, as there is a lot of world building and character building before hand to lead up to the murder. 

We follow a group of couples, all well off, living on a lake, partying and having a good time when one of the husbands is killed- and the wife is the main suspect. Add in the drama of adultery and lies, it actually makes for a good read- yet again I did not work out who the killer was! It came as a bit of a shock because the character was actually likeable.

Unlike the main character- who was really irritating and made all the wrong decisions! I genuinely thought she was gonna go down for the murder of her husband. It would have been her own fault! 

The element of supernatural/telekinesis/psychics wasn’t as much of a problem for me than this one but it did seem a bit odd. I know it’s going to lead to something in the other books but I don’t know, for a crime thriller it just seems weird. I can deal with it though as it adds to the connection between each book. 

I’m interested to see where the rest of the series is going to go. 

I really like Rem and Daniel’s relationship and I hope it continues to get stronger.

4/5 stars
