Reviews

[Linda · Rating 3 out of 5]

The main character is Detective Inspector Henry Christie. He tries to bring down an organized crime syndicate. It took me to long to read this book because I think it was to easy to put down. In some ways it was like reading a soap opera. I'll probably try another one sometime as this is a series.

Another good read but perhaps the ending was a little contrived but with no doubt the next book in mind!

Good read as usual
