Gone to Darkness by Barbara Nickless

5.0

This series continues to impress.

I keep giving the Sydney Rose books high marks because they are just that good. The series follows Sydney, an ex-Marine turned railway cop, who also happens to have a K-9 unit from the military. The thing that makes these books most interesting is that Sydneys is a fully fleshed out human being, flaws and all.

The first three books while separate mysteries in their own right, also had one over-arching one that was wrapped up. So where do we go with book four? Sydney has moved on from being a railroad cop to the fast track of being a detective for the Denver PD. Her partner doesn't care for her too much, but they do their best to make things work.

The case they worked in this one was interesting, and just everything about the writing in these novels moves along at a brisk pace.

If you like good mystery novels, I highly recommend this series.
