With thanks to the publisher for this advanced copy and what a pleasure it was. This is the story of two sisters, one a cop and one a .com. They have a secret which makes them suspects in a murder case. There are twists and turns galore and I can honestly say that this is probably the first book where I have no idea who the murderer is. I thought I'd got anyway there and was totally wrong. I could not predict what was going to happen next. I cannot wait for the next instalment (if there is one!) I would recommend it to everyone. Very very good read.

I loved this book! It was such a fun read. It delves into the realm of locked-room mysteries, which after my marathon Johnathon Creek sessions (who gets a mention in the book), I am practically an expert at. It provided not just one, but multiple enigmatic puzzles to unravel. Meet our intriguing protagonists: half-sisters, Tess, a respected DCI in line for promotion and Sarah a skilled con-artist. Despite residing on opposite sides of the law, fate interweaves their lives once again after 15 years of estrangement, as an old nemesis meets a grisly demise.
Forced to set aside their differences, the sisters reluctantly form an unlikely alliance. It becomes evident that their contrasting expertise and distinct personalities could synergize perfectly, enabling them to crack the perplexing case at hand—were it not for the inconvenient fact that their collaboration would go against all the rules created by both Tess’s bosses and Sarah’s close-knit family.
The narrative unfolds amidst a tapestry of disguises, rife with numerous mysteries and potential acts of betrayal. As readers embark on this enthralling journey, they will discover a book that not only entertains but also delivers an enjoyable reading experience. These two dynamic characters possess an undeniable chemistry, suggesting a future full with excitement, mischief, and delightful chaos. Hopefully we won’t have to wait long to read about more of their escapades, for it promises to be an enthralling continuation of their saga.

I just reviewed Three Card Murder by JL Blackhurst. Good reading and great story line of the two sisters. They are so alike, but on the opposite side of the fences - good cop and bad con who has the same father. Excellent team for DI Fox. Unsolved the case with the help of bad con sister but left on cliffhanger. Maybe another book to the series 🤔. Written well with lots of past secrets coming to the surface
