It starts with a bang … actually it starts with a car crash. Detective Bex Wynter remembers the bright light in her eyes and then her husband draped over the steering wheel, obviously dead.
She believes that another car intentionally cause the accident. But she’s told her husband had a heart attack and died while driving. She’s unwilling to accept this version and will do anything and everything she can to find the truth.
Months later she finds herself headed to New York. Her husband’s estate which was left to her is under attack by an ex-wife and his son … neither of which he saw in many years before he passed. Bex is obviously upset as she had plans for that money …
Her past crashes into her present as a killer who tried to kill Bex in London is also in New York.
This is a complex story, well-written, filled with action and energy. The characters are finely drawn bringing more credibility to the story. Wynter’s personal life, as well as her professional life brings her to life on these pages.
Although 6th in the series, this one is okay as a stand alone, but the story will be enhanced if read in sequence. The relationships between the characters are well worth reading, and the mysteries are complex with twists and turns.
Wow. Gets better every new book. Love this series.
Finally get to find out what really happened the night Zane died, and if Bex’s memories regarding the car are true. If Zane was murdered as Bex believes, the heart attack is clarified, but the how it was done and if there is a ‘who and why did it’, I never figured out till it was time. It as part of what keep me so engrossed in the book.
Real happy with the way all the lose ends were tied up at the end.
This is my honest and freely given review. I did receive an ARC book.
I started this series with the first book and each one is better than the last. The main character, Bex Wynter, is a widow with a lot of hidden grief. She was on the police force in New York and after her husband’s death she transferred to London. This book has her going back to New York on family business regarding her husband’s finances. Little does she know, this might put her in unexpected danger. This book kept me up reading and I totally enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next.
I love reading all of Elleby Harper’s books.each book is better than the last.a fast easy read with a great story line.
Wow, this is an excellent book. I really enjoyed it , well written, easy to read ,page turner, great characters, full of action & adrenaline . Good job . I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily left a review.
Please make sure that you have nothing else to do in your life when you start reading this book because everything will fall to the wayside as you utter those famous last words: Just one more chapter! Oh, and don’t even waste your breath saying the chapters are not very long so I won’t be up all night reading. You are just lying to yourself. You will have to find major intestinal fortitude to be able to put this book down. Ask me how I know! There is action, suspense, and high-flying drama galore.
Since this is the sixth book in the series I was very familiar with the main characters and learned a lot about characters who had only been in the background until now. It was great to get to know the friends and family that Bex left behind when she moved to London.
What I really enjoy about Ms. Harper’s writing is that she can write an action-packed story that keeps you on the edge of your seat, while at the same time writing with an emotional component that will sneak up on you and grab you by the throat when you aren’t looking. I can’t say enough good things about this series and the only downside I can find is that I have to wait until Ms. Harper writes the next one before I can get my hands on it. I highly, highly recommend this series.
Another great book in the series. It starts off with a surprise, continues to deliver unexpected moments, and ends with a huge event. So much action on both sides of the Atlantic! New characters enter the story. The book charges forward with so much energy. I really enjoyed it.
I am very happy to get to review this book. I received this book as an arc from the author. Ms Harper has done a beautiful job of continuing the saga of Bex Wynter. Bex has been working on her grief and feels she may be getting some better. Ms Harper’s characters are so awesome and amazing. I couldn’t put this book down after I began to read. Bex gets to meet her husband’s son, Kristian. I hope she will get the chance to make a difference in his life and possible her’s as well. This is an excellent book and I cannot wait till the next one is out.
I’ve read every book in this series and enjoyed them all but this book gave me everything I needed to know about Bex’s prior life before London. The book helped clear up many loose ends and had more action than I expected. If you’re looking for a different kind of police procedural, do yourself a favor and read this series. It is thoroughly enjoyable. I received this book from the author. My review is all my own because as an avid reader, I want others to enjoy the experience as much as I have.
Bex is called back to New York City to court because her dead husband’s former wife claims she was still his wife at the time of his death. The money from his estate is in an account to fund a charity to help the people less fortunate. A man hunt for a killer from Europe and an enemy of Bex’s is in NYC. This is a thrill ride that will keep you guessing.
Killing time is the 6th novel in the Bex Wynter files. Back from London to deal with “family matters”, Bex is still struggling with her husband’s untimely death and is determined to prove that it was murder when certain leads come to light. Meanwhile, Cole, a good friend and possibly a blossoming romance of Bex, is sent from London to NYC to pursue a serial killer. With her past rushing to the forefront of this new thriller, will Bex be able to resolve the family issues that have brought her back? Will she prove once and for all that her husband was murdered? And, will Cole be able to find the killer before Bex is in her sights once again?
A great novel that will keep you on your toes throughout. I could not put it down.
