I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review.

Mack is back as she dealing two court case one she is prosecuting a man who is accused of sexually abusing his daughter while other has to do with a pregnant woman is found violently murdered in her home which happens to be close to where Mack lives. As Mack and with the help Jess dive into both cases she has to deal with her estranged father while dating someone new Beth I like her even though I still like to see something happening with her and Rocky the bar owner. I love how the author really goes deep into how law works.

This was an interesting read. The author obviously knows her way around a courtroom. I enjoyed the MC's and the suspense almost felt real. I was eagerly awaiting the outcome of both trials. Overall a decent read, although I didn't realize there was a previous book with the same MC's, which made some things hard to figure out. I wish I had known about the first book, so I knew what Mack went through before.

Machenzie Wilson is back for her third book. Mack works as a prosecutor in Tucson, AZ, in the homicide division. She loves her work which keeps her at her desk until all hours and gets her called out to witness homicide scenes. This story covers two main cases. In one she is prosecuting a man who is accused of sexually abusing his daughter for years and murdering her child. In the second case a pregnant woman is found violently murdered in her home. This one happens close to where Mack lives. And the presumed perpetrator has an unexpected connection to Mack.

The story flows at a fast pace. There are reasonable jumps in time so you don’t have to go through every witness statement or wait for trials to begin. I love legal stories and that is the focus of these novels. Mack is there to sift through evidence and win her case. She is well versed in the law but rulings can still depend on the mood of the judges. Mack does get a bit of a social life hanging out with best friend and fellow prosecutor Jess who has appeared in all the books. They have each other's backs and enjoy discussing cases while they drink and dine. (Jess is straight and not a love interest.)

I really enjoy Mack and her lawyer and cop friends. I keep waiting and wishing for a good romance for Mack. She is dating, which is new, and also contacts her ex Anna, for help in a case. There is also an ongoing District Attorney election and Mack has had run-ins with the current office holder. I will be waiting for the next book to see what exciting cases come Mack's way.
