I am typically a huge fan of J.D. Barker’s books, but this one wasn’t my favourite. It didn’t have the same heart racing anticipation or psychological thriller twists as I’ve come to expect. I did enjoy the detective with a bond to a criminal aspect with a touch of romance and found family. I thought it was well written. I liked that there were many characters but found it somewhat predictable.
