๐ญPerfect Kill by Helen Sarah Fields is the sixth installment in the DI Callanach series, and itโs as thrilling as ever!
DCI Ava Turner and DI Luc Callanach are back in action, but this time theyโre tackling separate cases that soon intertwine in the most intense way. Avaโs on a case involving women trafficked into Scotland, while Luc is dealing with a case of people being shipped to France. As the plot thickens, it becomes clear that these two cases are more connected than they initially thought, revealing a dark and sinister trafficking ring.
Ava and Lucโs cases collide in a way thatโs as dramatic as it is shocking. The revelation that the men and women being trafficked are part of a bigger, more horrifying exchange between Scotland and France adds a whole new layer of complexity to the story. The stakes are sky-high, and the tension between the two cases adds an extra punch to the narrative.
One of the coolest things about this book? The multiple POVs(including the perspective of kidnapped Bart Campbell and trafficked Elenuta)!
You get to see the story unfold from different angles, which adds so much depth and keeps you on your toes. Itโs like having a backstage pass to the investigationโevery new perspective makes the mystery even more riveting.
Fields' writing is nothing short of masterful. She weaves intricate details into the police procedural aspects, making the casework, interrogations, and detective strategies feel both authentic and gripping. The pacing is spot-on, keeping you hooked with every twist and turn. Fieldsโ ability to balance detailed investigation work with intense suspense is truly impressive.
But be warnedโPerfect Kill doesnโt shy away from the gruesome and graphic. The scenes can be quite intense, with vivid descriptions that might not be for the faint of heart. The raw and brutal nature of the crimes adds a stark, chilling layer to the story, making the investigation feel even more urgent and horrifying.
Ava, with her sharp instincts and no-nonsense attitude, clashes and collaborates with Luc in ways that are as thrilling as they are heart-pounding. Luc, with his enigmatic charm and dark secrets, is the perfect foil to Avaโs fierce determination. Together, they make an explosive duo, and their dynamic is like watching a high-stakes game of chess, where every move is calculated, and every glance is loaded with unspoken meaning. Ava and Lucโs dynamic is fire throughout. Whether theyโre working together or butting heads, their chemistry adds an extra layer of excitement to the plot.
And letโs not forget the side characters like Tripp and Lively. These two are absolute gems. Trippโs no-nonsense attitude and Livelyโs significant role make them stand out in the investigation. Their contributions are like the secret sauce that makes the whole story even better.
I missed Overeck in this book!
The police procedural elements in this book are top-notch! Fields really know how to dive into the nitty-gritty of the investigations. From meticulous casework to intense interrogations, the procedural aspects are both detailed and engaging. Itโs like getting a front-row seat to a masterclass in crime-solving.
Overall, Perfect Kill is a thrilling mix of mystery, intense drama, storms of action, showers of feelings, real-life nightmares, and intricate police procedures, all brought to life by Fieldsโ exceptional writing.
๐.๐ Letโs not forget to talk about the cover! Itโs incredibly eye-catching. The juxtaposition of the beautiful butterfly surrounded by a circle of barbed wire captures the essence of this book perfectly. Itโs a striking image that hints at the dark and delicate themes within, drawing you in before you even turn the first page.
๐.๐.๐ I truly recommend you read these in order, where you will get a good background of the relationships!
I'm looking forward to Book 7!
