Another great read in the Detective Rachel King series. Murders, people trafficking and drugs make for a fast-paced addictive read. The murder inquiries don't seem to be getting anywhere and Rachel learns why when she is told some very surprising news that she can hardly believe.

Thank you NetGalley and Joffe Books for the eARC.
This is the 3rd book in the Detective Rachel King series and another good one.
A sick old man is found dead in his care home, murdered, with one of his fingers cut off and strewn with confetti. Having only been visited by a clergyman, it's hard to figure how the killer got into the facility, which is password protected. When they discover, via his daughter, that this man is not who they thought he was, the police believe there's a connection with a people smuggling case. Rachel delves into the mystery with her usual doggedness, despite her boss's warnings to lay off...he'll take care of it, but she ignores him. Her partners Elwyn and Jonny are back as well; it's like meeting old friends. The ending had a surprise in store for us, a big change is coming in Rachel's personal life and I for one can't wait for the next book. Definitely recommended.
