Feels overly lengthy, with many cliched characters, a tad too many smaller roles and a main character who is all contradictory.

Wow, this mystery has enough twists and turns to keep you guessing until the very end.

Fresh Doubt was electrifying with well-crafted characters and a captivating storyline!

Loved this book and was hooked from the beginning. Lots of twists and turns and a good twist at the end. Definitely looking forward to reading more from the author!

I just reviewed Fresh Doubt by Eva Hudson. #FreshDoubt #NetGalley. I found the opening chapters of the story promising, but as the book went along it morphed into the same old same old. I will try again if the series continues, but found this one to be average.

This didn't feel like the first Ingrid book and left me a little lost for awhile. It is full of action, set in London, with a bit of Americanisms intermixed made for a twisty and enjoyable story.

It took me awhile to get into it but once i did, it was pretty interesting, twists and turns and a strong female lead. would be interested to see how it improves as she writes more of the series

2.5 rounded up .Fresh Doubt by Eva Hudson is the beginning of a new series. THE PROTAGONIST, FBI agent Ingrid Skyberg, is assigned to work at the US embassy in London, safeguarding Americans while out of the USA.

She has a challenging and delicate position: working with British police to oversee investigations, and doing so as to not offend or overstep. However, her FBI tactical and investigative skills are superior and she tends to find the leads and solve the case.

The main character is round and well developed. However, the other characters are not. Her fiancé, also an FBI agent in the USA, is a phantom. Their relationship is a contradiction: engaged yet never communicating AT ALL. Weird. Her counterpart in England is “a friend” yet they have little interaction with one another. A journalist who is pivotal in helping Ingrid, then -POOF- vanishes for the remainder of the book. A student who is supplying drugs - what happens to him? How does he figure into anything? The antagonist is not well developed at all. The reader never discovers her motives.

The plot is interesting- a murder mystery, suicide, and a suicide attempt. Are they related? How so? Psychological experiments on a college campus involving drugs? Not going to happen. Yet, it does in this book. Many loose ends.

The tension builds through the first half, albeit somewhat slowly, then explodes for the remainder of the book. It is very hard to get into the book, yet it kept my interest after the 60% mark.

There are twists and turns, and the reader is kept guessing until the ending. Exciting climax! Satisfying denouement! A protagonist with an interesting, dark past. However, there are too many events that are never resolved.

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

This was an ok read though I found I didn’t connect with Ingrid, finding her a little irritating. I think there is more scope for her however and I hope that Angela Tate is developed as she is an interesting figure.
The fact that most of he leading characters were women was unreal in modern life.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me read this in exchange for a review, I will be putting this on amazon and goodread too.

A romp of a read. Very much in the action style of Lee Child and Karen Slaughter. Ms Hudson's protagonist, Ingrid Skyberg deserves her own series. As a Londoner it was great to have the action in my home city and have Ingrid dash around the capital. I devoured the book in a day and couldn't put it down. I'm looking forward to reading more in the series.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Thank you so much the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a complimentary electronic copy in return for an honest review.

Fresh Doubt
By Eva Hudson

5 stars

Featuring a tough female lead in a true murder mystery. This title is filled with drama and suspense.

There is action on every page. The story line plausible, and a lot better than many of the mystery’s currently on the market place.

Even Ingrid as the lead character is believable.

A well written story that leaves the reader wanting more.

This is the first in a series featuring Special FBI Agent Ingrid Skyberg series.

Ingrid now working out of the US embassy in London is investigating the death of an US student. As she digs deeper, the deadlier the case gets. And when she uncovers a sinister group operating within the psychology department, Ingrid is in far more danger than she realizes.

Up against the clock, and disobeying strict FBI protocols, Ingrid’s obsession to bring the killer to justice takes her far beyond the law. So far she may never get back.

I found this book difficult to get into. This was probably because it’s the first of the series I have read, but it was difficult to feel anything for the characters, or to understand why they were there. As a British citizen, lots of the story made no sense. I persevered and the story did improve from 40% onwards but it wasn’t a great read. I’d figured out who the killer was less than 25% into the book.

The writing is good, but the plot is weak and the main character a little too strange. Even if you're good at parkour you need to use your head.

Loved this one lots of twists and turns and for once I never saw the book ending as it does I cannot recommend this highly enough

I enjoyed reading this book. It had a good story to it. I liked the variety of characters in it. It is my first book read by this author. I hope to read more books by this author.

Thank you NetGalley and Inkubator Books for the eARC.
It was when I was 1/3 into the book that I realized I had read it when it first came out. Subsequently, I read several others in the series and enjoyed all of them.
Special Agent Ingrid Skyberg is a tough, competent woman who worked for the FBI and now works at the U.S. Embassy in London.
I recommend this book and the others in the series as compelling reads. Well written with good stories.
