My Review:
I’ve heard a lot about this author so I was very intrigued when I got invited onto the blog tour for this his latest book, especially as it is (I believe) his first crime fiction book.
The author introduces us to the privileged world of the super rich, a life that some of us are only able to dream of, which i found very interesting. The idea that some of the rules don’t apply to them is something I’ve long suspected so I enjoyed exploring it.
There were some fascinating, diverse characters in this book which gives the story an unique slant. I liked that the two main characters were practising Muslims but approached their religion in very different ways. DS Khan grew up in a traditional Muslim family but has spent most of her life rebelling against the expectations and limitations that the religion puts on her. DI Heston on the other hand recently converted though it isn’t immediately clear why which I found very intriguing. I enjoyed following both of them through the book and learnding more about their past lives, especially how it might effect things in the present.
Overall I thought this was a gripping, addictive book which was grest to get lost in for a few hours The author does a great job at telling the story and I found it hard to put the book down as there was always lots happening. I’m excited to read more from this series!
Huge thanks to Sarah Hardy from BOTBS publicity for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Hera for my copy of this book via Netgalley.
