I have been a big fan from day one. I love chief Maggie.

Not only are the cases interesting, I also adore the background story and every day life pieces of Maggie's story. She and her fiance Steve are a peculiar couple, but you cannot not love them. They both had things to hide, but now they have decided to come clean and tell each other everything, their relationship is much stronger. Well, at least let's say they try to tell each other everything, but they are working on it. ;)

Maggie often finds herself in very dangerous situations, but she will never back down. She feels it's her task as the chief of police to do her job: protecting the people of the village and putting the culprits behind bars. Her own safety is something she puts on the back burner.

In this story she learns things about herself and the people around her. 

With another baddie behind bars, the village is a safer place. The question is: how long for?

Perfect new part of this already incredibly good series. 5 stars

Thank you

Maggie is called out to check a remote meth lab. As she approaches, the door opens, she glimpses a familiar face and in an instant, it lands up smashed against her windscreen along with burning debris from a massive explosion.

Another brilliantly gripping instalment in the Maggie Riley series.
Fast paced, twisty and of course the smart team solves the case, but Maggie isn't telling the whole story.
I stayed up late to finish this book, and it was totally worth it.
I am not convinced Maggie's love story will have a happy ending though, that remains to be seen.
