What a tangled web we weave ... and this is a very tangled web indeed but written in such a way that it is easy to follow each twist, turn and bump as Dan Grant and Jayne Brett try to save their client from a murder charge.

The investigative process is expertly written by Neil White, as should be expected from a criminal lawyer who has worked on both sides of the UK legal system, and as each new clue or revelation is discovered the delight or confusion of the main protagonists is clear to see. The flashbacks contain just enough detail to move the present day scenes in the right direction and nothing felt contrived or unrealistic.

I liked Dan and Jayne and their relationship whilst not a main storyline showed why they worked well together. They made big steps forward, and backwards, throughout and several times I wondered how the remaining chapters would work if everything was coming together or falling apart but I was never disappointed and the climax was well worked and shockingly good.

I was able to read an advanced copy of this book thanks to Netgalley and the publishers in exchange for an unbiased review and would recommend it to anyone who has read the previous two books in this trilogy or enjoys good British crime novels with the power to surprise.

Great book will be reading other books by this author.
Will also recommend this book to others.
Great read! 5***
