I received this book as a gift.
Forensic Instincts is an organization that delves into criminal
investigations – like a PI company, sometimes skirting the law and definitely
making the detectives in this story a bit irked at their antics, especially
when it comes to not sharing information. This story centers around what
happened to Mr. Hillington and why and is coupled with the underlying story of
what really happened to Mr. Vicario. And, to keep things interesting, who is
going after Casey.
The characters we meet are Casey and Hutch (Casey is the owner of
FI, and Hutch is FBI). Ryan, Patrick, Claire (she is an intriguing character),
Marc, Emma, and Yoda. The two police detectives, Lorraine and Burt, who have
opposite personalities so they complement each other. Angela Case, Mr.
Hillington’s lawyer. The rest of the Hillington family, the Vicario family, and
the secret family.
Having never “met” these characters, I was still able to pick up
on their different personality quirks. Each of these folks have different
talents that they use throughout their investigations. I was intrigued with
Claire as she is a claircognizant, meaning she gets visions. She adds an
intriguing element/perspective to this tale. I was especially taken with Yoda.
Yoda is basically a Siri, an Alexa, the internet with a voice request. Yoda has
also apparently taken on a human aspect, or so it seems. I also enjoyed reading
about all the backstories, even the minor ones, that make the characters all
the more relatable.
This is book 10 in this series and I suspect there will be more.
If you like police procedurals that run in a series, pick this one up. Short
chapters, quick read, well-developed characters. I don’t think you have to read
them in order to get a sense of the characters. I suspect FI will be taking on
another investigation soon … irritating the two detectives even more on their
next adventure, especially since they’re going to be adding a new team member.
You’ll have to read the book to find out who that is.
