Comments
We enjoyed this book. While this is apparently book no. 9 in this series, it’s the first one we have read and we don’t think you need to have read any of the previous novels. This can be read as a standalone. We loved the main character, Joe O’Loughlin and the backstory with his girls, Charlie and Emma. It was a compelling storyline that sparked our interest immediately and short sharp chapters that kept us moving along. There were lots of twists and turns which kept us guessing to the end. None of our readers picked ‘whodunit’. We got a lost a little towards the end with a flurry of turns but overall, we found this a good book that would make a good holiday read.
