Book Review - โ€˜Her Final Hour:Detective Gina Harte Book 2โ€™ by Carla Kovack ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ

Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture and Carla Kovach for the chance to read an ARC of this novel.

โ€˜Her Final Hourโ€™ is a fantastic psychological thriller. It starts out strong, with the historic rape of a teenage girl at a bar and then the gruesome murder of Melissa Sanderson, and continues building the tension with each page as DI Harte and her team race to find her killer.

This book had a multilayered plot that was filled with mystery, misogyny and murder. The violence could be a stomach churning read at times but it put you not only in the mind of the killer but of DI Harte too, as it served to strengthen her resolve to get justice. There were many of twists and turns, and an array of mysterious, strange and sinister suspects. Like the police you find it hard to determine just who is involved in what way right until the moment all is revealed.

I hadnโ€™t read a book by this author before. I have her first novel on my Amazon Wish List so I was thrilled to be given the chance to read this one. I donโ€™t usually like reading a series out of order, in fact this might be the first time Iโ€™ve ever done so, but I didn't feel like it negatively impacted the story. There were things alluded to that were clearly in the previous novel but enough information was given that it to make sense. In fact, it all just made me want to read Book 1 to find out about that case and after reading this amazing book I intend to do just that.  

A brilliant, well written and fast paced book that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys crime, thriller and mystery novels.
Available 23rd August.
