DCI Turner and DI Callanach are working apart on opposite sides of the channel following their little disagreement at the end of the previous novel however their working relationships are about to clash head on as abductions, people trafficking and black market organ trading all combine in this brilliantly crafted story.
I love the interaction between the main pair but equally with Turner's team and their professionalism and dedication to the job on hand and there is a very real human element as well with part of the story told from the viewpoints of those in the various perilous positions in the story. There are a couple of moments that are very tough to read and you are willing certain characters to get through their ordeal.
It's a great addition to an established series which I'll be looking forward to the next one and the continuing saga of Luc and Ava!

Perfect Kill is the latest book in the wonderful series that features Ava and Luc. I was looking forward to seeing how their relationship would continue after the events from the previous book. Their situation is probably helped by their enforced separation due to work. Luc is back in Paris, facing up to some demons from his past as well as working and Ava in Edinburgh.
The cases are grim and compelling, both concern human trafficking but for completely different reasons. It was impossible to decide which was the most upsetting, especially when the victims had their own voice. This isn’t a novel where you just see the police activity. You get to know victims and perpetrators from both cases.
There are also parts that show the more compassionate side to Ada, her concern for her close friend Natasha is touching. Even though they both tease each other you could see how much they meant to each other. And there is also humour, especially regarding Swift, the officer who soon earns himself a nickname.
As is usual, I still have earlier books from the series to read which I do hope to get to soon. And I am looking forward to what this author writes next.

Ik had lang uitgekeken naar dit boek.De vorige van deze auteur konden me steeds volop boeien.Jammer genoeg,was ik bij deze iets minder enthousiast.Er zat weinig spanning in,minder regelmaat,de vriendschap en spanning tussen ava en Luc was niet zoals anders.Men verwachtingen waren hoog maar dit boek sprak me minder aan.
