Book Synopsis:
Samantha stumbled out of the party and on to a busy street only ten minutes away from her home. But she never made it home…
Seven years after Samantha’s disappearance, on what would have been her thirty-fifth birthday, her best friend Diane is shocked to find a letter addressed to Samantha on her doorstep.
Opening the envelope, Diane pulls out a birthday card and a finger nail painted in dusky pink nail polish. The same shade Samantha always wore. The same shade she was wearing the night she went missing.
When police analyse the nail, they don’t get the result they expected. Instead of linking them to Samantha, the nail belongs to another woman, Jade Ashmore. And Jade was murdered the night before the envelope was delivered….

My Review:
I’m a huge fan of this series which I think just keeps getting better and better! If you’re a fan of gripping police procedurals then you definitely need to read this series!
The story starts with the rather gruesome murder following a swingers party which Nina is called to investigate. There are a lot of suspects and people involved which makes it a difficult investigation. This alongside a one night stand that keeps showing up it soon becomes obvious that Gina is struggling. I liked this character development of Gina as it helps keep the series fresh and very interesting. Gone is the normally hard Gina that readers of the series know and love. Instead she seems more vulnerable and slightly depressed which makes her seem softer somehow. There were times in the book where I wished I could give her a hug.
The book starts off slowly but soon becomes very fast paced with lots of twists and turns to keep things interesting. I so enjoyed watching everything unfold and trying to work out who the murder was, though I was ultimately unsuccessful.
This is the fourth book in the series and it’s probably best to read the books in order so you can understand more of the back story involved. This is fast becoming one of my favourite crime series and I’m very excited to see what the author comes up with next.
Huge thanks to Noelle from Bookouture for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Bookouture for my copy of this book via Netgalley.
