I started reading Fledgling

I am reading Crimson Angel

Here is my 4.31 rounded to 4 stars review of The Shark
by Mary Burton:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This appears to be a re-release.
Crime Thriller/Police Procedural
The author is a great storyteller with gripping scenes and a disturbing story that depicts the devastating risks to runaways and the effects of human trafficking on them. The plot moves at a fast pace with some twists and turns. However, the antagonist was a little too predictable.

She's an Aussie author Heather - a friend reads and loves her work. I've only just discovered this, and also thought the author was male (probably because of Archer (grandson's name)). So I'm thinking I should pick up a book by her to read, and this one sounds pretty good :)

The multiple conflicts and the diplomatic challenges move the story forward rapidly. Overall, this is a tense and exciting science fiction thriller that kept me on an emotional rollercoaster.
