This continues the story started in CJ Wood's debut novel, County Lines, it features the same characters, but can be read as a standalone without missing out anything vital. It is another good read, slightly repetitive in places - something which would benefit from a wee bit of editing, plus there were still some typos and oddities that need sorting in the text, but overall a good tale well told. I am now looking forward to book 3 from CJ Wood.

I read Chris his first book County lines and absolutely loved it ! And crossed lines is in my eyes even better. This book has some great twist and turns and you can tell that the author was a former Detective. This was a sequel but you can read both books as stand alone....but why would you ! 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from me....when is your next book out ! ❤📚
