This book had a good story, a little different from the Scarlett’s series that l loved, ‘good read’

In this novel, Patricia Cornwell does an excellent job describing the story while also providing detailed descriptions of each character. The novel is about a guy named Winston Garano, or Win, and the obstacles he faces in his job as a state investigator. Cornwell does a great job balancing the events of the story with the details of a few characters personal life outside of work. One of the main obstacles Winston Garano faces is his ever-changing relationship with District Attorney Lamont who was sexually assaulted by a man who had the intent of murder. Win coincidently walks in during the assault and accidentally ends up killing the attacker, saving Lamont. She isn't nearly as thankful as you may expect, however, and ends up continuing to ask more and more of Win. This persistence eventually drives Winston to frustration which causes him to cut ties with the DA at the end of the novel.

I really enjoyed reading this work and have plans to try reading another book written by author Patricia Cornwell. I was very drawn in by the numerous descriptions and well-developed characters. I would strongly recommend the book to anyone interested in books that revolve around investigations or forensics due to the book being based around an unsolved murder case from many years in the past.

Nice and fast thriller, a bit disappointing in the last pages but it's a series so it makes sense. 3.5☆

This had the potential to be a very good first in a series, but for some reason, the story made no sense what so ever. It says this is the first in the series, but I continuely felt like I had missed the first part of the book. No matter how much I read, it was like there was so much more that should have been said. I hope the next one in this series is better....I only gave it 3 stars because of the author.
