I loved this brand-new mystery by Christie J. Newport. I don't normally read crime, but this had me hooked from the first page. It is excellently written, slick and realistic, with a wonderful main character. Detective Inspector Beth Fellows is a flawed policewoman, with demons of her own. She has broken the rules before, and may have to do so again. When a suspected serial killer strikes, she is forced to revisit a cold case that almost ruined her career. I loved the way Newport ratcheted up the tension, and kept me turning the pages long after my bedtime! Brilliant stuff.

The start of a new series. This is a strong police procedural with plenty of twists and a few surprises Unfortunately for me the main character and her on off relationship was annoying and so repetitive. This book could have been so much more. I hope other readers will enjoy it more just not for me.
Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in return for giving an honest review.

Thanks to NetGalley, Joffre Books and Christie J. Newport for the opportunity to read an advance copy of The Raven’ Mark. I found this to be a strong police procedural with a variety of twists and surprises. The characters were great and very believable and there were many to follow. A female detective who is in a bi relationship and displays a Borderline Personality disorder to her mate creates unending strife in the relationship. The twists and turns never stop. I was an excellent read that kept me captivated to the last page.
