My Rating ~ 4 bites and a nibble
Annie Fitch, police
detective, was shot on the job and due to residual disabilities is no longer a
cop. Starting her own business as a private investigator has taken as much hard
work and dedication as her rehab, but since she can’t be a cop anymore she’s
determined to make her new life work. Her past life and current life crash
together when one of her surveillance jobs crosses path with a murder
investigation. Working with her former partner to solve the case is like old
times, but Annie struggles to put her past to bed and embrace her new reality.
Told entirely from Annie’s
POV this murder mystery is a tricky one. Annie kind of reminds me of Jessica
Jones without the super powers. Annie is a great character. She has flaws and
is struggling, but keeps going. The writing is awesome and the characters are
great. The mystery is a cop’s nightmare. The murder victim is a sex addict so
there are literally hundreds of suspects. It wasn’t until about 75% that I
thought I had the guilty party pegged, but I wasn’t sure enough to declare it
so. The author moves Annie’s story along at a steady clip without getting bogged
down in unnecessary detail. This is a story that, once picked up, is impossible
to put down until the last page is turned.
