I
like a good police mystery and this is a good one. The heroine is
Avery North, Atlanta detective. She is on the case of the murder of
two young Asian women, each with a specific tattoo. Also involved is assistant medical examiner Jackson Bryant. With support from Jackson, Avery
pursues clues that take her to the terrifying world of human
trafficking.
I
really like Avery as a character. She is tough and a strong
protagonist. She is also a widow and mom of a tween, trying to juggle
all of her responsibilities. Coming into the picture is Jackson. It
looks like romance may be on the horizon.
I
liked the police work. The case Avery is working on is complex. She
also has to deal with her own emotional issues as she pursues the
murderer. Her brother had been murdered in a police operation that
went bad and she is determined to find out who was responsible for
it. That distracts her at times.
I
really enjoyed the novel. At the end, we are left hanging with a clue
from her brother's death. I will certainly read the sequel.
