Brilliant addition to the series. 

It’s so nice to be back with Gabriel and Liam who is once again up to his usual shenanigans with his coworkers. The shenanigans begin immediately so I was laughing from the first page and continued to do so throughout the remainder of this entertaining and engaging book. There’s also the complete joy in watching Liam interacting with people and coming to the realisation that he has friends and his reaction to that moment. 
To balance out the humour there’s an intriguing and intricate case to be solved. A case that has a very solid connection to Liam’s past with some unexpected surprises along the way. Once again Liam’s insights combined with the entire team’s solid investigative techniques bring the case to a successful close. 
Whilst all this is going on Liam is doing his utmost to encourage Gabriel to live with him so an over the top first month anniversary present is of course necessary as is a visit to a cat cafe with unexpected results. Their relationship is as strong as ever and Liam not only survived “meeting the parents” but became a family member whether he wanted to or not. 
This is a fantastic example of this talented author’s work and to enhance the reading experience you really should read the first book in the series as it provides much needed background information.
