The one who never forgot her name,
Mob fixer, Patrick Granger.

As Grant's life unravels, she’s forced to face a dreadful truth.
In a world with more than one dangerous man on the streets with her name on his lips,
She can’t trust anyone.

The Carved Men by E.D. Crowe is the fascinating police procedural following Amelie Grant, a Detective Inspector. She’s put on a case involving gruesome scenes in a local Abbey. There are precious few clues, and she receives lots of flack from some of her coworkers. But, she is determined to find the culprit!!!

This story was riveting!!! I couldn’t stop reading for a second!! The shocks kept coming…involving unexpected persons…and the inherent danger is real!!! Loved her methodical processes, whip-smart mind, and the help she receives from an unexpected source. Leads right into the next book of the series!!! Can’t wait!!!! Great read!!!

How can you not love a woman who is upfront about loving wine and bad decisions? DI Amelie Grant is a woman who seems to thrive on puzzles and hard work. I am so curious who the mysterious stalker is and what the next steps are with Granger.

I read and reviewed a copy of this book.
