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 my copy of this book via Netgalley and for letting me take part in this tour. This is the 12th book in the Detective Gina Harte series but all could be read as standalone.

Detective Gina Harte is one of my favourite detectives. She is determined and caring. She will do everything she can to find the killer and you can see how much each case affects her. Gina has grown so much since the first book. I also love Gina’s team. They are a well-oiled machine at this point and can trust each other implicitly.

Carla always keeps her books relevant and realistic. There are comments that relate to the current state of the world. I don’t think these are necessarily needed for all books but I think it was a perfect addition to this story.

This is another excellent addition to the series. It is full of tension, suspense and surprise. The story is full of twists and turns that will keep you on your toes right until the very end. The book is fast-paced and very easy to become absorbed in. If you love a police procedural with a hint of a psychological thriller then this book and series are perfect for you.
