Book Synopsis:
A fractured marriage. A silent family. A secret worth killing for.
When DC Cat Kinsella is approached by Joseph Madden for help with his wife, Rachel, there’s not much she can do. Joseph claims that Rachel has been threatening him, but can’t – or won’t – give Cat details as to why. Dismissing it as a marriage on the rocks, Cat forgets about it.
That is until Naomi Lockhart, a young PA, is found dead after a party attended by both Joseph and Rachel, and Joseph is arrested for the murder.
Joseph says his wife is setting him up.
His wife says he didn’t do it.
The trail of evidence leads to even more questions . . .
Adulterer. Murderer. Victim. Whowould you believe?

My Review:
This was another fantastic addition to one of my favourite crime series. It was great to be able to catch up with Kinsella and the team again!
Cat Kinsella is fast becoming my favourite female protagonist and I really enjoyed the careful balancing act she does between her work and dealing with her rather dysfunctional family. She’s strong, brave, and capable but is able to show her vulnerabilities too which makes you warm to her quickly. Her team in the police are also very likeable and I loved to read about all the banter between them. They seem very able to play to their strengths and weaknesses which made for fascinating reading. They are all very well drawn characters and seem to work together very effectively which was very nice to read about.
This was a well paced book which was easy to get into and I soon found myself emersed into the story. The plot is very clever with lots of twists to keep me firmly on my toes. Just when I thought I had figured everything out, something would happen which would send the story in a completely new direction. It was a very engaging story with lots of different threads happening alongside each other to keep the reader interested. The cliffhanger at the end was very intriguing and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
Huge thanks to Tracy Fenton for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Zaffre Books for my copy of this book via Netgalley.

When she’s not agonising over snappy dialogue or incisive prose, she can be found shouting at the TV when Arsenal are playing, or holding court in the pub on topics she knows nothing about.
