It's a miracle that Barnes can hold on to whatever sanity he can through this mad series of events, betrayals, and more. The publisher's blurb is pretty good, and there's no sense in trying to summarize the plot. This is a great read and I plan to read the previous book soon! I only wish it was available on audio. I requested and received a free e-book copy from Joffe Books via NetGalley. Thank you! (  ) jetangen4571 | Sep 13, 2022 | An entertaining and well-written modern mystery. A good addition to this series with its cast of likeable but varied characters. ( ) Vesper1931 | Aug 25, 2022 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Police procedural criminal mystery that kept me glued. If you thought Detective Sergeant Rutherford Barnes was having a hard time keeping all his ducks in a row, spare a thought for me, the reader. After an eighteen month suspension Barnes is back, and tasked with investigating a death no one else wants. A drunken, abusive ex husband has been accidentally killed by the ex wife’s partner—an upstanding firefighter. The death must be investigated but it’s pretty open and shut accidental.
Suddenly this simple case of homicide turns into a jailbreak, leapfrogged over by a murder, corralled by another death in custody, and the list continues. Three major events interrupted by associated threads of the continuity of order, or linked? Only Barnes is making connections.
What it means is there’s dirty cops along the feeding line, and how far out and up does it go?
Corruption often starts with baby steps, and then!
Well paced, almost too fast for me, but really enjoyable.
A Joffe ARC via NetGalley.
Many thanks to the author and publisher. (
