Held my attention so much, that I had to read the whole book in one day.
A criminal point of view.
This book is the eighth in a series, but, unlike many serialized stories, this one can stand alone.
Good story telling that flows along
In her eighth adventure private eye Sloane Monroe finds herself in Australia, working for a senator whose sister has been murdered, as has her partner. She’s left behind a daughter with Downs Syndrome, who the senator is determined to protect.
The killer, however, has his own agenda. He doesn’t like to be misrepresented and takes action to punish anyone who lies or speculates wrongly about what he did.
It’s all set for another pulsating case where Sloane disregards her own safety to track down and apprehend the killer.
As this is one my favourite private eye series, I wondered whether moving the story to Australia would make any difference. Not at all. Sloane’s her usual tenacious self, risking life and limb, putting herself in danger and disregarding those who try to get in her way. It means this is another pulsating, edge of seat investigation, filled with suspense, danger and a few more insights into her troubled past.
While you could read this as a standalone, like any series, you’ll miss much of the character development and some great investigations along the way.
Highly recommended.
Best Sloane Monroe novel yet! This is an exceptional novel, filled with unexpected developments that held my interest and kept me from guessing how all the many facets fit together until the end. The thing I appreciate about this series is that Sloane Monroe, the protagonist, grows and evolves as each new novel presents her with new challenges. With some series books, each is just a new plot, yet with unchanged characters. Not so with Sloane and I am already looking forward to Book 9!!
Sloane returns from her adventurous honeymoon in Africa, to several missed calls on her business line from a Senator in Australia. She had met him several months earlier in Cairns while she was there investigating the disappearance of a friends wife. The message said “ Call me Something has happened here & I’d like to hire you. I need your help.”
Sloane wasn’t sure she was ready to travel back to Australia so soon but after talking to the Senator, hearing his sister & her boyfriend had been murdered she decided to go.
Once I started reading, It was very hard to put the story down. I have loved everyone of Cheryl Bradshaw’s, Sloane Monroe mysteries & this one, as the rest, did not disappoint.
Another great Sloan’s Monroe mystery. I am never disappointed reading this series. There are many twists in the plot that you never know till the end who the murderer is. This book is a great read hard to put it down
