SYNOPSIS
Jared Keaton, chef to the stars. Charming. Charismatic. Psychopath . . . He’s currently serving a life sentence for the brutal murder of his daughter, Elizabeth. Her body was never found and Keaton was convicted largely on the testimony of Detective Sergeant Washington Poe.
So when a young woman staggers into a remote police station with irrefutable evidence that she is Elizabeth Keaton, Poe finds himself on the wrong side of an investigation, one that could cost him much more than his career.
MY REVIEW
I would like to thank #netgalley #Littlebrownbooks for an ARC of this book my review is unbiased and all my own opinion.
Wow where do I start if you haven’t read the first book in the series The Puppet Master I would say start with that. I have done a previous review on that. This book can be read as a stand-alone novel but the characters are developing and reading the first helps to understand them more. But this is a personal preference of mine.
Poe finds himself in trouble in this book and calls on the one person he can trust Tilly Bradshaw the very intelligent computer nerd/whizz who doesn’t have very good social skills, sometimes when she says things it can be very amusing as she basically will say whatever she thinks with no filter. Just love her character.
Poe needs all the help he can get in this book otherwise he will find himself where Jared Keaton is. How can this woman be Elizabeth Keaton? Poe is adamant he got it right first time but the evidence is showing differently. Why has she disappeared again? The race is on to stop Jared Keaton being a free man which is what will happen if Poe was wrong.
I couldn’t put this book down I read it in one sitting engrossed from page one until the end and then that disappointment that I now have to wait for the next Poe and Tilly novel.
If you read one book this summer make it this one or even both books in the series if you haven’t read the first you won’t be disappointed.
