I enjoyed this book, a spunky heroine, a cast of intriguing characters, a location I am familiar with and a mystery to be solved

Received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for a honest review. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

To be honest I found this one hard to get into. I had trouble staying focused on it cause I found it somewhat boring. I had a feeling who the killer was from almost the beginning and I was right. I do feel like I’ve read this kind of story before and I’m missing a few twists and turns that haven’t been used before.

I received this from Netgalley.com for a review.

Second book in the series, Aloa Snow is getting beyond her disgraceful past and get her life back on track by doing what she does best: investigating hard-to-solve cases along with her team of trusty sidekicks.

Nice continuation of Aloa and company. Pleasant read.

The Thin Edge is the second mystery in the Aloa Snow series, and it's a cracking read bristling with thrills and spills. Each book can easily be read as a standalone as pertinent information is given to get new readers up to speed and the bulk of the plot is contained to this novel. The tension builds from the first couple of pages and near the end, it is ratcheted up leading into an exhilarating conclusion. Although I predicted some of the twists in the tale there were some that caught me off guard and because this is written in such a readable and engaging style this didn't affect my enjoyment too much.

Aloa is a strong, fierce female lead who appears to have most of the issues that are stereotypical for protagonists in crime fiction. She's made a lot of mistakes in her life one of which led to her almost destroying her career as an investigative crime reporter. As faith and trust in her slowly returns, Aloa is desperate to keep up appearances and prove herself as she knows there are some who still doubt she can be trusted. This makes her a particularly dogged investigator who will stop at nothing to gain redemption, raise her status and get justice for victims. All in all, a pretty gripping mystery. Many thanks to Thomas & Mercer for an ARC.
