Book synopsis

When does a secret become a crime?

Jonathan Miller and his wife are invited to his best friend’s lavish 40th birthday celebrations. Four days later, Jonathan is dead, apparently asphyxiated during a solitary sex act gone wrong. A tragic case of misadventure.

DS Robin Butler is accompanied by his new partner DC Freya West to notify the widow. He can’t understand why West behaves like a nervous rookie. He doesn’t know that the victim was West’s lover, and until that moment she had no idea he was dead.

West is devastated and confused. Jonathan’s wife hints that he was troubled, and West chooses to withhold her connection to him. If it came out it would end her career. Yet she cannot accept any version of events other than murder. His wife, she is sure, is lying.

As the pair investigate, Butler’s past and present also collide. When the truth is finally revealed, there is no mistaking who the guilty parties are. But can they trust each other with their darkest secrets? And how can justice be served when the laws that were broken go unnoticed?

Don’t miss this tense and compulsive first novel in a brand new police procedural series. Perfect for fans of Cara Hunter, Susie Steiner and Jane Casey.

My review

This was my kind of book! It kept me enthralled all of the way through. When a body is found and one of the police officers investigating it had an affair with them you know that there will be many twists and turns thorough out.

This was not just a standard detective story as it had so much more to it. I loved how the characters all connected together in one way or another. This made me want to read on.

What a debut for Louisa Scarr! This is an author you will want to look out for and read ALL of their books.

Totally recommend if you love a thriller book.

Cannot wait for the next one!
