"Twist and turn and twist again, and I am not talking about dance steps, but the latest DCI Tara Jones mystery. Just when you think "Ah, that's what it's all about", AJA Gardiner pulls the rug from under your feet and surprise, you are wrong again, which is just the frustrating way I like my mysteries!" Goodreads reviewer⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

She’s hunting a hitman. But nothing about this case is what it seems.

When drug barons start turning up dead in Aberdeen, DCI Tara Jones is handed a case that makes her skin crawl — not just because someone is assassinating gangsters with military precision, but because her orders are clear: find the hitman — and keep the remaining crime lords alive.

As pressure mounts from her superiors at Police Scotland, Tara is forced deeper into murky territory. But what begins as a hunt for one hitman soon reveals a deeper conspiracy — one that stretches far beyond the granite-lined streets of Aberdeen.

When the trail leads to London, Tara must confront a final deadly adversary — and time is running out to stop a killer who’s always one step ahead.

Trouble is – time is also running out for Tara Jones.

Razor-sharp, atmospheric, and gripping to the final page, THE HITMAN delivers another explosive chapter in the DCI Tara Jones series.

The AI performance was better in the series than with the Daisy and Sam series

The AI narration frequently speaks punctuation, marks, misinterpret words, it makes it difficult to know which character speaking. The book itself was very good.
