Romantic Thriller published by Thomas and Mercer 27 Apr 21
I’m surprised that I somehow missed Book 1 in this series, but, while I believe this book would have been better if I had read Book 1 before reading it, I was soon caught up in the characters and fast-paced action.
Starting off with murder – a double murder at that – of the prominent and well-connected Assistant DA Asher sets the ball rolling. Asher, it seems, is connected to a police detective who quit the work force and now works as a PI after an undercover operation with the cartel who prey in this part of the country went awry. Before Devlin and Falco can chase down all the clues and start building a case, Devlin is called to an incident at her niece’s school.
The plots and subplots that tie all these characters and incidents together will leave you reeling and running to catch up. Just as you think you’ve got it all figured out, the cards are thrown up in the air again and off you go into the next part of the maze. The secrets, connections, and surprises just keeping coming at you as you feverishly try to get ahead.
This is an exhilarating story with deep characters and layers that has me panting for the next book in the series. I’m a fan of Ms. Webb, but this story really has her at her best with a definite edge. I can’t wait to see where things will go next for this intrepid pair.
Grade: A
Summary:
As veteran detectives of the Birmingham Police Department, Kerri Devlin and Luke Falco have seen it all. So when the city’s new hotshot deputy district attorney turns up dead as part of a double homicide, the partners immediately get to work.
But this is no ordinary case. Devlin and Falco quickly link the murdered DDA to one of their own: former BPD detective Sadie Cross. But Sadie’s fractured memory is yet another puzzle to decipher, as she only recalls bits and pieces of her violent past…a past that may hold clues to the motive behind the murders.
As the group slowly begins to unearth the truth, they soon discover that the more secrets are revealed, the more fatal the consequences.
