Crime, the thrill of the chase, and a gripping mystery all wrapped into one book. There were so many moving pieces in this story that kept me captivated, more than just that of the usual ‘crime novel’. Sure, there’s the classic ‘bad guy’ and ‘good guy’ but not everything is quite so black and white. When we’re introduced into this life of Nora Sommer, we’re not sure what we’ve gotten into, but then the plot thickens as we discover more about the circumstances surrounding her first case. Even as she’s gone through her own trials before this, when Nora’s thrown into this crazy situation I really love seeing how she perseveres and fights to do what’s right. The pace was moderate, not too fast or too slow but really well-paced. Though I’ve never been the Cayman Islands, I liked how I was able to imagine the scenery clearly and felt as if I were in the story with the other characters.… (mehr)

Nora is a pretty strong and courageous woman. She had just moved to the Cayman Islands and started working with the PD. She got sucked into a bad case involving a vengeful husband that couldn't handle his wife's death. This book pulled me in right from the beginning with the action. I absolutely loved the feeling of suspense with it beginning with the professor's death. That was breath holding, edge of the seat thrill. The action never stopped. It kept building throughout the whole story. Suspense, thrills and mystery made the book an absolute winner. The characters just made it feel even more real. A lot of badass in this book. I love a book with cops with attitude. Weak cops kill the story. The plot was perfect and didn't have any choppiness. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. This was a new author to me and I'll have to read more of his work.… (mehr)
