nickieandremus's review against another edition

*** I received an advanced e-copy from Net Galley in exchange for my honest review
I am a huge fan of this author's books, and I think this may be my favorite one yet. It is so action-packed that I couldn't put it down. You know it is a good book when you reach the end of the book and go "no!!!!!!!!!!". Needless to say, I can't wait for the next book in the this series.

Fast, fun read. Small quibbles like stupid people and so many descriptions of how attractive everyone is, but that's how it goes in this genre. I did not read the prior books in the series and might now. I won this in a Goodreads giveaway. Totally worth it! Haha.

The mystery was well plotted, but the descriptions of women and any non-white person is problematic.

The Crooked Street is the third novel in the Detective Frost Easton of San Francisco Police Department series; each instalment works perfectly as a standalone as the crime is self-contained to that particular book, but you will not be privy to information on the recurring characters full backgrounds. I loved the murder and mayhem, thrills and spills San Fran PD go through, and the complexity of the plot made this unputdownable for me.
The author challenges the reader to keep up with the developments, the endless deceit and a wholly untrustworthy mob of people; this is definitely one of the most twist-driven and surprise-filled thrillers I've had the pleasure to read of late. The twists in the tale are plentiful and pull you into one way of thinking before whipping the rug from underneath you leaving you scratching your head aghast. Mr Freeman impressed me by disguising the perpetrator until very late on, which created tension throughout, and he cleverly weaves a dark yarn that I enjoyed immensely.
It does, however, end on a cliffhanger which is rather annoying as whether I will remember the details of this book when the sequel comes out is debatable. Frost is a character I can see myself really appreciating as the series progresses. He knows his own mind and is morally driven. I looking forward to the next instalment and the evolution of the characters.
Many thanks to Thomas & Mercer for an ARC.
