I never know what I’m going to get with this author. Always a well written novel but sometimes too weird or disturbing. This one is just right. We begin with a murder. Mrs. Kavanaugh is dead, stabbed multiple times in her kitchen. Who and why? The author takes the reader back a few weeks and begins the story, dropping in facts from each characters’ life. I honestly didn’t know who or why until the last bit. Very well written.

Oh my! I was thoroughly enjoying this book until it went a bit off the rails for me. It, fortunately, didn't overtake the plot, but I was let down - big time! I must admit that if I had read it, I probably wouldn't have been as affected, in a roll your eyes kind of way, by it. The pace kept me engaged and the characters were interesting, which is vital. I look forward to more by Robotham.

While this is #7 in a series, you'd never know! It most definitely can be read as a standalone.
