He Knows Your Secrets is the latest book in the DS Maddie Ives series by Charlie Gallagher and it is another fast moving, page turning crime thriller that kept me entertained from the beginning to the end.
If you like your crime fast paced then this is definitely the series for you

Thank you NetGalley and Joffe Books for the eARC.
Holly, in a taxi with her unsuspecting driver, forces the plunging of the vehicle over a steep cliff, killing them both. She's clutching a backpack filled with evidence, hoping the finding of the contents will bring down and put away her powerful, psychopathic crime boss and set her partner, Kelly, free from the terrifying hold the boss has over her.
Detective Maddie Ives is determined to solve this case, instinctively knowing who is behind this suicide; a man who has never been convicted of a crime, but is behind drug deals and the running of young girls for computer sex shows. It's a tough job, made more so by the fact her boss is unconvinced.
I had mixed feelings about this book, the violence was depressing and I couldn't connect with any of the characters. It all seemed a bit over the top, even though I'm sure it's a realistic glimpse of the underbelly of the crime world. It's not the type of story I could relax with and enjoy, but it's well written and will be enjoyed by readers who like dark mysteries. Two and half stars.
