I received a gifted copy and am providing a review.
Who is looking for a new police procedural and new characters?
Here it is! Welcome to the new character of Emily Hunter and her partner,
Javier Medina.
Emily is the sort of detective who is like a dog with a bone, even
if following the scent leads her down the wrong path a time or two and finds
her overstepping that path, sort of like breaking the rules. This makes Javier
cringe at times.
The thing about Emily is that she is relatable. Emily’s mom has
dementia and lives with Emily. The way her mom’s dementia is portrayed is so
spot on. This is one of those diseases that is hard to explain, hard to
understand, but the author has nailed his description.
I enjoyed this tale because of Emily’s character as well as
Javier. And Emily’s mom. Javier’s mom, Lucinda, is also an important character
in this tale; she helped Emily understand her mom’s decision just a bit more.
There is also “Officer Booty Bandit,” gotta love that nickname!
It is going to be interesting to follow Emily through her career.
I suspect she and Javier will continue to follow the paths less traveled to get
to the answers. This is the kind of police procedural I enjoy reading because
of the underlying backstories and the relatability of the characters and how
they all tie together in the end. A bit of a love interest peppered in doesn’t
hurt, either.
