Michael Robotham could write a list of groceries & I’d probably rate it 5 stars - he’s just that good. He’s the master of edge-of-your-seat thrillers, & has yet to let me down with any of his books. 

White Crow is the second book featuring Philomena McCarthy - it can be read as a stand alone, but the first book does provide some insight into her challenges balancing her life as a police officer, & the daughter of a gangster. 

White crow starts with Phil on shift when she spots a little girl in the middle of the road in the middle of the night covered in blood. From there, expect lots of twists & turns, & Phil herself becoming entangled in a web of crime she’s tried so hard to remain free from. 

Please give us more Philomena - she’s a national treasure that must be protected.

I really enjoyed this book! It had the perfect amount of mystery and suspense. Philomena is a young police officer in London with ties to a notorious crime family. One night while patrolling, her and her partner and dispatched to a jewelry store bombing. Before she can respond she glimpses a young child wondering the streets alone and stays back to search the area. Everything from that point on is a wild ride. Definitely add this to your TBR!

I picked up my first Robotham book because I saw him recommended by Stephen King.  I started with When You Are Mine and was super excited to get an advance copy of this one.  It’s not quite as good as the first in the Philomena series but I enjoyed it.  Good mystery, interesting character development and while you catch on quick, they getting from there to the end is interesting!
