Skull
"An action-packed murder mystery, buoyantly written and suspenseful." "Williams vividly constructs a morally confounding world in which good and evil are messily intermixed"- Kirkus Reviews
"Skull is a polished, uneasy mystery featuring a sinister killer, a gritty and violent crime, and a gregarious pair of detectives."- Clarion Reviews.
Detectives Mitchell and Sandovan face the most intriguing homicide case of their careers. It begins innocently, with the arrest of a low-level larcenist. Georgie Jacobs is facing a lengthy stretch behind bars as a repeat offender. But Georgie has something to trade. He tells the detectives that he has knowledge of a crime scene so macabre that it gives him nightmares. The trail takes Mitchell and Sandovan to a ghastly dinner party gone wrong, where four corpses sit at unfinished plates of food with no signs of violence. A fifth person who had been at the table is mysteriously absent. All this takes place in a wealthy gated community, where the residents have secrets and the means to protect them. Mitchell’s girlfriend, advertising executive Mya Laing, is also drawn into the case in a provocative and enigmatic way. Together, Mitchell, Sandovan and Mya must use all the intelligence and resources they can muster to thwart the ruthless killer.

Kept me interested
I found myself reading this on my Kindle app every chance I got. The characters were interesting and I looked forward to what was coming next. A few twists and turns that weren’t obvious like some books. I will read the next book.

I won this book as part of a Goodreads giveaway and the following is my honest review.
I enjoyed reading this book. I loved the characters, even the bad ones. This was a great crime story. It was paced really well. It comes with a sneak peak into the next book as well.

What a great twist at the end! You could almost predict part of the ending right away, but then towards the end it really unraveled in such a great way.
