The second book in the series is even better than the first and that is high praise indeed. The only problem now is having to wait for the next one!

Remi Kone’s Just Kill is a tense, emotionally driven crime thriller that hooked me from the very first page. When DI Leah Hutch and DS Benjamin Randle are called to a murder outside their jurisdiction, things quickly turn personal especially when the suspect is tied to Leah’s past. What unfolds is a cleverly layered investigation across three incidents all connected that they have to link together and solve.
Alongside the main case, Leah is struggling to uncover the truth about her mother’s death. Her father’s cryptic clues and her unsettling nightmares add a strong taunt layer. Zed Okoro is another standout, with his determination to find answers about his own mother bringing real emotional weight to the story.
The writing is confident and well paced, revealing just enough to keep the reader guessing. The short chapters make it hard to put down, and the twists build effectively toward a satisfying final revelation that sets up the next book perfectly.
Just Kill is a tense, emotional, and highly engaging read. With strong characters, clever plotting, and a compelling mix of personal and professional stakes, it’s a true page turner that crime thriller fans won’t want to miss.
