Leisurelypaced police procedural laden with domestic/personal drama,
This solid crimefiction drama is my first experience reading a book by author Linda Coles, Detectives Rutherford and Lacey investigate the deaths of two men who suffered brain hemorrhages after taking a punch to the face, The media is in a lather about the contemporaneous case, because a police detective threw a punch, but in the old case, the culprit has been incarcerated for eighteen years.
The two stories are skillfully interwoven, and the main storyline is bolstered by interesting subplots, I also enjoyed the unexpected twists in Detective Laceys professional and personal dramasubplotafter the discovery of a skeleton in her inlaws garden, This police procedural is heavily padded with personal relationships and domestic drama, but some readers seem to expect that,
The denouement leaves a domestic drama TBC, but the “murder” storylines were cleverly resolved, For readers like me who arent fond of flashbacks, there are five flashback chapters with different POVs,
I couldn't put it down!
