Thank you NetGalley and Joffe Books for the eARC.
I have just about read every book in this series and unfortunately it was my least favorite one. That said, it was likeable, as usual, because of the characters. It's like re-connecting with family you haven't seen for some time.
Sophie is still in hospital recuperating, but comes out towards the end and is contemplating her future. Jackie is doing really well in her new job. Barry has taken Sophie's place for the moment and is acing it. The mystery itself wasn't interesting to me, but all in all I still enjoyed the book.

I am really enjoying the Sophie Allen series by Michael Hambling. It was suspenseful, thrilling and had plenty of action. I liked the story it kept my interest all the way through and there were some plot twists that kept me guessing. You can read this as a stand alone novel but I recommend starting at the beginning of the series as there is a lot of back information that would help understand the dynamics and relationships in the book. Highly recommend it’s a cracker of a read.

Sophie is still in the hospital recovering from injuries sustained during the the last investigation. Barry is back from his honeymoon, so he’s the boss during this investigation. Three strange events happen that seem more than just a coincidence. Then a murder scene is revealed. How are these events related and what do they have with a specific company? Barry, Rae, Tommy, and new recruit Jackie work together to solve this series of crimes. With Sophie’s diagnosis up in the air, teamwork is essential. Decent mystery and I liked seeing Rose and George again.
