Fatal Justice by Marie Force
3.0

This is my first book from Marie Force and I have some really mixed feelings. There are many things about this book that I enjoyed and there are some that I didn't like so much.

I haven't read the previous book in this series. And although it was not a problem to follow the plot in the second one, the plot from the previous book was extensively uncovered there, so now I don't see the point in reading the previous one now.

One of the things I am not so keen of is the relation between Sam and Nick which is pretty intense. There is a bit more drama here than I usually like. I didn't like that Sam regularly compares her prick of an ex-husband with Nick, expecting him to just deal with it. And there is too many emotions between them. I expected for the story to be more focused on the criminal cases.

On the other hand, sometimes Sam and Nick remind me of Eve and Roarke. And this is definitely a good thing. I generally like them and I will probably follow the series, especially that the secondary characters are also pretty nice.

The suspense part was more than okay. The killer and his motives are not that obvious, while still believable at some point.

All in all, it's a nice and quick read.
