After reading some of the reviews for this book I was hesitant to give it a try. It sounded kind of depressing from the reviews and, quite frankly, I thought would end up being a disappointing read after enjoying the first book I read by this author. But having loved The Side Hustle, the first book in this series, I decided to give this book a chance. I'm glad I did.

I found the storyline intriguing. Without giving away any details I'll just say that getting to know the main character, Dallas, in his mourning for his wife made me better understand his actions and attitudes in his job as detective. I think the author did a fantastic job of weaving together the personal life and professional life of the detective.

I love this author's writing style and ability to pull me into the story and keep my interest. I've now given both books of his that I've read 5 stars because the stories are interesting, the characters are realistic, the writing is great, and the books are just so easy to read. I now plan on reading the author's entire catalog of work.

Give this book a try. It can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading the series in order just so you don't miss out on any good stories.

Happy reading!

Nice weekend read

Some of the police procedures described here reminded me of Arthur Hailey's works. A thoroughly enjoyable read that most readers can finish in one sitting.
