I was lucky enough to have gotten a ARC copy of this book from the author. I am volunteering to leave this review. This book had me guessing the entire book. Plenty of twist and turns.
Final Verdict
Another Cavendish & Walker WINNER!
Is there a serial killer targeting a law firm? Does the killer work at the firm or is he or she a former employee with a grudge.
Intertwined with solving the murders are the personal issues with which Whitney, George, and the stern pathologist Claire must each wrestle.
There’s also some good news. Whitney’s superior – Jamieson – appears to be headed for a promotion. A promotion which will free Whitney of his management “style “.
Simply put, Final Verdict is a great read and I guarantee you will not even begin to solve the case before our favorite cast of characters does.
You will try and you won’t put the book down till finished. All the while, you’ll be as involved as those working to solve the murders and sort out their personal lives as well.
Enjoy! I certainly did
This is a series that grabs me from word one of book 1. Fans of great whodunits will be enthralled with Book 6 in the story of Whitney and George.
I like that the characters are 3 dimensional. You get to know them on the criminal / procedural front, as friends and their own lives .
These characters have become flesh and blood to me.
Book 6 in the Cavendish and Walker series, Final Verdict is a great thriller. Another serial killer is on the loose and Whitney and George will have to struggle with finding this latest villain whilst trying to deal with difficult family issues. As with all of Sally Rigby’s novels, the characters and storyline make for an entertaining read. I received a copy of this book for an honest review.
FINAL..VERDICT…Sally.Rigby
Julian Lyons a lawyer, given a lethal injection. He was a partner, working long hours and for different countries, didn’t sound right, that was usually for
low level lawyers. Had a wife and two young sons.
A case that showed affairs, revenge for a son’s death a young lawyer, killing those connected to the case. A plot that flows, good lead characters with George and Whitney. Will there be another killing soon.
Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
I received an ebook from the author and this is my voluntary review. This is the sixth book in the Cavendish/Walker series and each book gets better as the characters develop into their own person. This book is full of intrigue and awe. Cavendish and Walker are an unbeatable team. I highly recommend this book. Enjoy!
Another great read. Author is very good at keeping you guessing until the end. I love how she gives glimpses into the mind of the murderer. So many twists and turns, and surprises. I love this series. I received an ARC of this excellent story.
Book 6 and another serial killer bri vs Whitney and George together again. Who would have a motive for killing lawyers and their coworkers? Read this latest book and find out. I enjoyed my ARC copy from the author. Reading helps when you can’t go anywhere.
With this 6th volume in her police procedural series, Sally Rigby gets even better than ever.
The main characters all have their own private worries. Whitney’s daughter is in Australia and her mother, who’s in a care home because of dementia, has a lump in her breast and it’s a long wait before they get the test results. George’s boyfriend proposed to her but she’s not sure if she’s ready for that sort of commitment. On top of that, her good-for-nothing ex-boyfriend jumped over her head at work. And Claire, the grumpy pathologist has been offered a new job.
But they soon have something else to worry about when a young lawyer in perfect health dies of what looks like a heart attack. That heart attack was brought on by injection with potassium chloride (the drug used in lethal injections). The man is described as a perfect husband and father, an excellent colleague and boss. Literally nobody has a bad word to say about the man. But nobody can be that perfect, can they?
Not much later, a second victim killed in an identical way is found in an all-female gym. She works for the same law firm. Can the killer be a woman? The detective and the doctor have more than enough on their plate now that Lenchester seems to be a serial killer hotspot.
Luckily the dynamic between them both has been very productive in the past, so why would that change? But there’s quite some difference between this 6th story and the first one as the characters have grown in their roles and seem much more confident. Not only George and Whitney, but also the supporting characters come a bit more to live with every new book. We also get a little more background of some detectives. I think that’s great and I could do with much more.
I’ve got but one complaint, the book was too short.
I got a free ARC from the author, this is my honest, unbiased review.
