Kate and her team are back investigating more brutal murders. This time it’s 21 year old men just trying to make a decent living, or were they…

I just have to wonder if Kate gets a new Explorer every time because it seems to get beat up every book, just like her. Man she takes a thrashing, but keeps on doing her best for Painter’s Mill. The whole team’s investigative skills are top notch. If my death was suspicious I'd want them on the case.

Anyway, another wonderful, brutal and action packed edition to the series.

Series notes:
I think you should read them all in order because they’re great, but I suppose it’s not absolutely necessary. Each book follows a different murder, but Kate’s life is progressing.

Narration notes:
A bit robotic at times, but she does well overall.

Thanks, Amina! One book a year, so it’s a long wait in between.

🤣 ! Yes, still goes strong.


Karen Excellent review Heather. I agree with the formulaic approach, and that is probably my problem with the way the Chief keeps putting herself at unnecessary risk. I hope she changes the format next time! ☺️
