Critic reviews

"5/5...There just doesn't seem time to catch your breath through this book, there is just something happening all the way through it." ( I Love Reading)

I only have one issue with this series.

I love all her series. I love how the characters crossover between series. the one negative is that Joseph is supposed to be this former special services bad ass/gentle giant type, but the narration of the character comes across like a cowering pussy. The voice is very effeminate. For such a central character the narration should fit the character better.

Great Story - Terrific Narration -Crap Romance

This is a great story. Right up there with le Carre. I would give it 6 stars except for the occasionally sappy dialogue during the romantic scenes.

Excellent Series!

The characters are great. The stories great. The narration great. Next up please. Love British copper books

sueb

love British crime books. this inner is well written and performed well. will continue to read rest of this series

Great Surprise Ending

Book 2 did not disappoint. The characters get more developed and relatable. You learn some back history of Nikki and Joe. It was an interesting storyline with someone lurking in the shadows, suicide, and past experiences.
