This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Thank you to Bookouture for letting me take part in this tour and for my copy of this book via Netgalley. This is the 5th book in the Detective Jo Fournier series. the previous book was published in January 2021 so my mind was a bit fuzzy on the details. If you haven't read this series before I think there is enough detail for you and if like me you have but it was a while ago then there's enough there to remind you of what happened in previous books. I think quite a but of time has passed since the previous book too.

Detective Jo Fournier is extremely smart and in this book is hunting down not one but two serial killers. This story makes you question the legal system, its flaws and vigilantism. Most people know that the legal system is flawed. Not every criminal is caught and if they are not all are punished but does that mean we should take the law into our own hands? These two killers certainly thought so!

This book effortlessly weaves in morality and justice while staying true to the law. I thought it was a fascinating insight into the differing perspectives. Chouinard kept me hooked from the beginning with different POVs and the two different cases. When one case dipped the other picked up keeping both us and the detectives very busy.

If you are looking to get your teeth into a gripping crime thriller that will keep you guessing then definitely pick this one up.
