Description:

They say I’m a murderer.

Six years ago, Kate Reynolds was found holding the body of her best friend; covered in blood, and clutching the knife that killed her.

I plead guilty.

Kate has been in prison ever since, but now her sentence is up. She is being released.

But the truth is, I didn’t do it.

There’s only one person who can help: Private Investigator Madison Attalee, the first officer on the scene all those years ago.

 

But there’s someone out there who doesn’t want Kate digging up the past. Someone who is willing to keep the truth buried at any cost.

 

Robert Galbraith meets Susie Steiner in this gripping debut from Niki Mackay.

 

My View:

Gripping, choc full of twists and surprises, every time you think you have it worked out -think again-you don’t.

A flawed (read that as very flawed but good hearted, empathetic, dedicated… ) female Private Investigator ex- cop is a wonderful protagonist that quickly gains the readers respect and admiration. Madison Attalee drives the pace of this drama – fast, frantic and deadly.

There are so many twists, most totally unexpected. And just a little pricking of your social conscience  – enough said, read and let me know what you think.

 

What an amazing year on the crime fiction front – I have read so many exceptional reads, and have been surprised by how many, like this, are debut novels. Amazing! What talent!

 

I am looking forward to the next episode in Madison Attalee’s life.
