kaz_loves_books's review against another edition
5.0
Carla Kovach has done it again! This is the fourth novel in this series and the series just keeps getting better in my opinion. We have DI Gina Harte and her team back on the scene and they work well together.
There is a party going on, Jade and her husband Noah had an invite although they didn’t know Dawn that well before going and there were two other couples there. They were all mingling and having drinks. As the evening wore on, one guy was taking pictures constantly of Samantha and ignoring his wife. Samantha grabbed a guy on his way back from the bar whilst he had hold of a pint in his hand, sloshing it over his hand, wanting him to dance with her. Then one of her favourite songs from Dirty Dancing came on so she screamed they just had to dance to it. She made sure she got close to the guy and when she spotted him with the camera, she pointed and stuck her tongue out. He looked around and saw his wife was watching him but was none to pleased with his behaviour. She spotted him looking and then left him, so even better for him, no need to rush off. Then he spotted her sitting on a chair, with the letter ‘J’ hanging round her neck. She was not impressed with the canoodling on the dance floor either. Next thing she had left too.
Jade was feeling drunk and she really had to find Noah, She wanted to tell him how she felt. That she didn’t like that type of party and didn’t want to do it again. She loved him and her daughter. Just wanted it to be them. She was wandering round the back alleyway’s but every alleyway looked the same. The shoes she was wearing were hurting her feet so she decided to take them off. She could hear someone coming up the alley behind her. As she stopped, they kept coming and then stopped behind her. She got worried, normally someone would speak. Before she knew it, she was grabbed from behind and she struggled then she was hit on the head. She fell onto the floor and carried on struggling. Then she managed to grab onto the bottom of a nearby gate and pull herself towards it. The attacker hit her on the head again, perhaps a bit harder them he should. The light went out of her eyes. Jade was dead.
This was a fantastic book to read. It really tested DI Harte and her team and dredged up events from the past for some in the book. The book is well written, the story flows and I was hooked from the start. I really enjoy this series and the police characters gel well together. I will look forward to the next book.
