Consent: DI Amelia Barton of the NCA Book 2

DI Amelia Barton of the NCA #2

by Nicky Downes

Readers loved Traffic, the first book in the NCA series, describing it as a modern, fast paced page turner that made you wonder what could be happening in your street. Consent is the second book in the series. DI Amelia Barton returns from maternity leave and is assigned to a child sexual exploitation case. Despite not being her usual line of work, Amelia is determined to support the girls involved and to bring their abusers to justice. However, Amelia discovers that The Devil, head of the sex trafficking who murdered DS Chloe Smith and kidnapped her, is still on the run across Europe with his daughter Lillian. As she hunts him down, it becomes clear that he is involved in more than just sex trafficking. Could the two cases be linked? Will Amelia be able to capture The Devil before he destroys more women and girls?

About the author

I’m a lover of extremes. I own a narrowboat and you’ll often find me cruising the Oxford and Coventry canals. I, also, own a Harley Davidson. I learnt to ride at 50. Best thing I’ve ever done.

I’ve loved reading crime fiction since I was a child. I devoured Nancy Drew, then Agatha Christie, then Dorothy L. Sayers.

My current favourite authors are: Val McDermid, Mark Billingham, Fiona Cummins, Angela Clarke and Angela Marsons.

My debut novel, Bat Girl, is now available on Amazon Kindle and paperback.

I’m currently writing a police procedural series featuring DI Amelia Barton of the National Crime Agency.

Reviews

[Richard Dabell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Following on from the first book in the series. Some time has passed for the characters and we get brought up to speed quickly and into the latest investigation. Its a spoiler free review so I don't want to get into too much detail, but if you liked the first book and crime novels in general you will enjoy it.
