Reviewed by Jack Magnus for Readers’ Favorite

Breaking Point: A Detective Jack Creed Novel, Volume 8 is a police procedural mystery novel written by C.T. Mitchell. Detective Jack Creed had a serial killer at large in the Cabarita Beach area of New South Wales. The killer had taken his first victim ten years before, and his most recent victim had been brutally attacked before being burned alive. Creed had O’Halleran breathing down his neck on this case as well, so not replacing Simpson, who was on leave due to health issues, was not on the cards. His choices for a replacement were marginal, to say the least. Detective Sergeant Boston-Wright was the one bright penny in the mix — even if she was a woman. Murder inquiries were traditionally handled by men, but she was the daughter of Bruno Boston, after all. Boston had been Creed’s mentor on style as well as police work. So Creed would give her a try. For her part, Joanne Boston-Wright was determined to succeed, seeing her appointment as an opportunity to finally do some real police work. There would be the extra scrutiny expected by any woman breaking into a man’s field, but she knew she could get past it — she was, after all, Bruno’s daughter.

C.T. Mitchell’s Australian police procedural mystery, Breaking Point: A Detective Jack Creed Novel, is the eighth volume in this detective series, but don’t let that stop you from reading this book as a standalone. I did, and I found myself instantly involved in the action, the characters, and the story. Creed and Boston-Wright are each complicated and strong characters who find the other daunting and not quite comprehensible. That doesn’t hinder them from becoming a dynamic team that’s well worth following in future volumes. I’ve been a fan of Australian police procedurals since I first discovered Arthur Upfield’s half-Aboriginal Detective Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte some years ago, and I’m thrilled to have found Detective Jack Creed. Mitchell’s plot is top-tier, and his story is taut, compelling, and suspenseful. Breaking Point: A Detective Jack Creed Novel, Volume 8 is most highly recommended.
