Oh wow!! What a book. Not the usual police procedural but something different with an investigator Nell and Crime Analyst Carla. A new concept shown where the analyst digs through mountains of electronic data to assist the field investigators.
A young couple with a dead child suspected of unnatural causes brought pathologist Eve to the picture. 6 threatening letters written by Mary embroiled Eve deeper into another mystery of her past reports. Nell and Carla investigated.
A debut by Merilyn Davies got my interest soaring and my passions fired up. I love the way the story got me thinking about the possibilities and suspects. The chapters written about the past was an added flavor.
The story had two strong women analyzing the crime from different angles. There was a slow building up of trust. The author being an analyst has used her experience in the story, and that showed in the way this story was written. It was leaps different from the rest.
My passions were at its peak when the analyst showed her humane side and hid certain data. I was angry because she was supposed to be a police woman of sorts before other relationships. I kept taping on her name (read tapping the screen of my kindle) hoping to knock some sense into her.
Such were the emotions as I read through this intriguing one of a kind crime drama which was quite a convoluted story. You have to read it to believe it.
I received a free ARC from NetGalley and publisher, and this is my journey into its pages, straight from the heart!! STRICTLY HONEST AND UNBIASED.
All my reviews can be read here
When a young couple are the lead suspects for the murder of their only child, Crime Analyst Carla Brown and DS Nell Jackson are assigned to investigate.
The evidence seems conclusive, but something just doesn’t feel right.
The case is quickly cast into doubt when the lead forensic pathologist starts receiving threatening letters – containing details only the police should know.
Who’s sending them? What do they want? And how did they get hold of the information?
As Carla and Nell dig deeper, it soon becomes clear that this case isn’t the first of its kind.
They must stop at nothing to find the truth – even if it hits close to home.

Thank you for the review, Shalini!
I often want to give annoying characters a pinch or whack them with my Kindle.
Ah I remember that part, she wanted to protect her mentor who knew the killer and yet she felt there was an explanation. Huhh? 😳 What was that? I wanted to hit her with my kindle. Hadn’t she heard of dirty cops. Maybe she should read more novels 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shalini my TBR list is out of control thanks to your reviews 😜 another book added 🙈. When will I ever get them all read 🤦🏽♀️🙈
Hahaha I don’t think we will ever be able to do that. So read what you can and enjoy it. This was a fun read completely different. I liked that the team had an analyst
Plot with a new twist of analysis? Good review!
Thank you. This was fantastic read. Maybe you would love it
Nice review Shalini. It sounds like one I would enjoy. I don’t often come across main characters named Carla, so that is another plus for me.
Yayy this was a fun read. Hope you love it too
