A Knife's Edge by Eliot Parker

4.0

First, let me say that this is my first read featuring Ronan McCullough, but now that we've met and I know he's practically in my backyard, I'll definitely have to check out the first book in the series. I saw Charleston in the blurb, but I so rarely see a book set so close to home that I just assumed it was South Carolina, so I was excited to see that these characters were just down the road a piece - and if you're from these parts, you know that can mean anything from a block or two to a couple hundred miles. Anyway, I really liked Ronan. He's a bit of a grump, but I know a few of those myself and like them, he's a lovable grump - at least from my standpoint. Of course, I didn't have to work with him. Fortunately, Ronan has those around him to help temper that grumpiness, especially Ty, plus it doesn't hurt that he's quite good at what he does. As I mentioned at the beginning, this is my first read in this series, but if I was missing something, I didn't notice it, so I would say this one works as a standalone. The story has good pacing for a procedural/thriller, the case is gritty, and Eliot Parker has created characters that practically leap off the page. I certainly enjoyed it and I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys the genre.
