I’m huge big fan of this series and this book doesn’t disappoint. The ongoing character development and progression of Duncan and Eve’s partnership are top-notch. As a veteran tv writer, Goldberg knows how to write a fast paced police procedural that keeps you on your toes from the page one. Additionally, the humor is very well done and adds just the right amount of levity. This is the fourth entry in the Eve Ronin series and I would suggest starting at the beginning of the series, [b:Lost Hills|42847645|Lost Hills (Eve Ronin, #1)|Lee Goldberg|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1550459059l/42847645._SY75_.jpg|66612147].

Really good detective murder mystery! I haven't read the previous 3 books in the series because I was intrigued by the setting of this one (Malibu Creek State Park). Having lived in LA, I was familiar with many of the locales. I will definitely be reading Lee Goldberg again.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
All opinions are my own.

I didn't realize that this book was the 4th one in a series, and had I known that I probably would not have chosen it. While I thought the author did a good job of recapping the previous books when needed, I personally felt like I was missing something and it bothered me throughout the book. That being said, I did enjoy the story and am motivated to read the previous books in the series.
I would recommend this to others, with the caution to read the previous books in the series first.

Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for the ARC!

Eve Ronin takes us on another headlong fight for justice while battling the corruption inherent in the sheriff's department, reluctantly contributing to a television series based on her escapades, and keeping her soon-to-be-retired partner fed. A wild ride full of Eve's snarkiness with some surprises along the way.

Thanks to Thomas & Mercer for access to a digital ARC on NetGalley.

Very plain writing, cliches, but, somehow, I still really like this series.
