Reviews

[John · Rating 5 out of 5]

This second book in Tales from the Robbery-Homicide Division by Peter S Berman definitely keeps the reader guessing from the beginning to the end of the book as to who can be trusted and who can't as several IRA members reak havoc on American soil, leading to murder and mayhem. The plot maintains the suspense, action and mystery until the final page is turned and the story laid to rest. In addition to the returning three police characters from book one, several new and interesting ones are also added into the mix, both American and British. What one person considers right and another considers wrong is definitely a debate taken up by Renee and Whit more than once. This is a voluntary review of an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Hidden Gems Books.
