“What’s a Monday morning without a homicide?” This is a police procedural, and a very good one. There is a double homicide which needs to be handled but there is much brewing in the background that threatens to become a distraction. Set in Birmingham, Alabama Kerri Devlin and Luke Falco are either going to solve this case and solidify their relationship or it is all going to blow up and disintegrate. She is mostly by the book and he is unconventional - they are partners and believe in each other. Tangled webs from the past threaten and loom large. Understanding and forgiveness or disaster - maybe neither, maybe a little of each, maybe it starts, maybe it ends.

I am sorry to see the series end but respect the author’s choice to know when to go out on a winning streak. Thank you NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for a copy. ( )

Kerri and Luke have been called to investigate a double homicide. A mother and her child are dead because of a terrible fire. The fire was arson. The deeper they get into the investigation the more they realize everyone is lying.

I really enjoy this series. Basically because I am sort of in love with Luke. He has such a bad past but he has a huge heart and he wants to be the best he can be. Luke’s past is ever present in this novel. And it just might come back to bite him! You must read this to find out!

This is just and all around good mystery which will have you wondering what the devil is about to happen…I mean bad cops and all! And what kind of secret are these grandmothers keeping! Geez!

This story keeps you guessing until the end…basically because no one is telling the truth!
