Excellent.no other words for it to be honest. Having said that, I didn’t expect anything less, having read Neil’s previous books.. fast moving story lines with a nice mix of characters. Won’t take you long to read as it keeps you turning the pages.

I have read all of Neil Lancaster’s Craigie series. This story includes some links to previous books so would recommend that the books are read in order. Max Craigie is a veteran of Afghanistan now in the police so has personal issues to deal with due to trauma. In this book he doesn’t seem so consumed by them as before. His personal life is more stable and his work is demanding but rewarding. This story centres around a death/murder six years ago which was unsolved but the knowledge of which is being used as a bargaining chip. A VIP is keen to keep the past hidden but it’s worth too much to some to stay quiet. There is a real cat and mouse element to the narrative. Who is the VIP? How is information leaking? Can you trust members of a criminal family to tell the truth? I really liked this episode, can’t wait to see where Max is going next! Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin for a prepublication ebook in return for an honest review.
