This is a brilliant read.
Wonderful well written plot and story line that had me engaged from the start.
Love the well fleshed out characters and found them believable.
Great suspense and found myself second guessing every thought I had continuously.
Can't wait to read what the author brings out next.
Recommend reading.

I was provided an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher.  This is my own honest voluntary review.

A very interesting reading that keeps the reader glued to the book´s pages from beginning to the end. A plot that has been similarly used by other authors, but that has been very well developed by the author and with a distinctive vocabulary.  There are a mystery,  funny family interactions, a bit of romance, lots of crime, and lots of action. What really got my attention is the peculiar situation of the main character - she is physically disabled and although she has internal problems with her situation - she is able to live a normal life and also tries to help people with the same conditions to do the same. The story also calls attention to friendships and the importance of having goals in life.
I downloaded a free copy of this book through NetGalley and this is my honest review.

Kat Munroe is a Forensic Accountant working with the police when an Investment Fund Manager is found murdered. Kat lost a hand a couple of years ago when in a car accident that also took the life of her friend. Her boyfriend at the time was driving drunk.

Kat has few memories of what actually happened, other than she knows she was running ... but from what?

D S Adam Jackson is also haunted ... his best friend was working undercover. He disappeared and Jackson still hunts for him.

As Kat and Adam gather evidence of a crime with implications beyond the City, they find that events in their pasts are on a collision course; one which will ultimately put them both in serious danger.

This is the world of financial crime .... money laundering, Ponzie schemes, insurance fraud, identity theft, lottery scams. This is where Forensic Accountants earn their pay ... and Kat is one of the best around. It's also highly dangerous as it always is when someone takes large amounts of money illegally and has no wish to give it up.

Kat, despite her prosthetic hand, is impressive in a forceful way .... overwhelmingly tough and powerful when threatened. And she and Adam have attracted targets on their backs. Adam can take care of himself, but when it comes to Kat, he feels very protective of her.

It's action-packed, page-turning suspense from the vert first page. The suspense is heightened throughout until the final explosive conclusion. There are twists and turns throughout. The characters are solidly written and I loved the relationship between Kat and Adam. Maybe a developing romance? Before becoming an author, she worked in banking in London and New York. Given her background, I expected a certain amount of credibility ..and I was not disappointed.

It's first in the series and I look forward to seeing more of Kat Munroe in the future.

Many thanks to the author / Paperback Writer's Publishing / Netgalley for the digital copy of this Financial Thriller. Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

It was good it wasn't amazing to me, there were parts of the book where I didn't feel that engaged with the characters and the plot of the story. Thank you to NetGalley for providing me a copy of this book to read.

Death count by S.L. Beaumont.
A really enjoyable read. I loved the story and most of the characters.  Kat and Adam were my favourite.  5*.
