I really enjoyed this one - like others, I was thrown by the level of involvement/interference that Gemma has in the police investigations, and I made the mistake of listening to this, the final instalment of the series without having read the rest of the series, which was probably less than helpful. But those quibbles aside, I thought that the story was good, credible and with enough strands to make the story interesting and plausible. I picked the culprit early in the piece, but it didn't detr...more
Quite a good thriller/mystery. I like the protagonist and her new love interest. A couple of times I felt the dialogue was forced to show what a great guy this was, and I lost track of a character who turned out to be part of the big reveal.

This book was very enjoyable especially if the reader has already read any of the previous Gemma Lincoln series. It's a wonder why there has not been another sequel written to chronicle the further exploits of the main character.
Enjoyable, but a civilian being able to assist in police business is a bit weird
