A Murder of Crows: Atlanta Noir
In the shadows of Atlanta’s glittering art world, a killer is turning murder into masterpieces.
When billionaire philanthropist Harrison Whitfield III is found brutally displayed in Piedmont Park, his body staged to resemble a horrifying classical painting, Detective Nolan Anderson and his estranged former partner Maeve Mitchell are forced back together on a case neither of them is prepared for.
The deeper they dig, the darker the truth becomes. Whitfield was one of eleven powerful figures tied to a secret network trafficking Nazi-looted artwork stolen from Jewish families during World War II. Now someone is hunting them down, one by one, recreating famous works of art with chilling precision.
As cryptic warnings arrive and the body count rises, Nolan and Maeve must navigate Atlanta’s elite, buried betrayals, and their own fractured past before the killer completes his deadly gallery.
"Stylish, atmospheric, and razor-sharp, A Murder of Crows is a gripping noir thriller where revenge is an art form, and every masterpiece demands blood. Highly recommended," The International Review of Books.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a copy in exchange for an honest review.
I liked this one more than I expected. It’s a really solid procedural with a case that kept me interested all the way through without feeling too complicated or overdone. The pacing felt steady and easy to follow, which I appreciated.
The main detective was probably my favorite part. He has a backstory that adds some depth, but it never pulls focus from the case itself. It just made me more interested in him as a character and I’d definitely keep reading the series to see where that goes. His dynamic with his partner is familiar, especially since they have history, but it worked and didn’t feel forced.
I also liked how the story brought in the art element, especially with the connection to pieces looted during the Nazi era. It added something a little different and gave the investigation more weight without taking over the whole story.
Overall, this was a strong start to the series. It hit what I usually look for in a procedural and left me wanting to see what happens next.

good start
This is a good start for an indie author. The story is interesting but the writing and dialog is often repetitive. I am interested in where the main characters go from here.
