Review
A decayed body part, an 18 year old conviction and murder case, attacks on women all added together to make a compelling story. Sarah Newby is finally splitting up from husband and her world is in transition. She wins an appeal case but has to sell her home. A new romantic interest in her life seems just perfect, or is it?
I loved this book, on my opinion it was the best legal whodunit or how, Vicary has ever written. The mystery glued me to my ebook reader and I didn’t guess the outcome. It was a bit of a detour for those of us rooting for Tesarah but hugely enjoyable all the same. I loved the addition of Jane, a new detective to the team to balance out the amount of testosterone and provide a buffer between Terry and Will Churchill. This book can be read as a stand alone, but the series is too good to miss.
