One of the best book I read in 2021. An incredible story of revenge. I absolutely loved the young woman at the center of this story. So well done.

The fourth of the Sin City Investigation series, Flat Black Ford by J D Allen sees the return of PI Jim Bean. This time, Jim is hired to track down Stella DeSoto after her mother recognises her in the midst of a crime spree. Having read one of his earlier books in the Jim Bean series, it was good to be able to review this latest instalment, but it is a suitable standalone nonetheless. Initially reluctant to take on the case, Jim agrees, only to discover the FBI interest and the hunt is on. It is a well written thriller with good characters, dynamic writing and epic adventurous. A thoroughly enjoyable read with an impressive narrative and a four-star rating, with another instalment due next year.

*4 3/4 Stars*

Copy kindly received via NetGalley for an honest review.

This was a really interesting book with interesting characters. There was lots of planning to get to the end game and plenty of twists and turns along the way. This was a great read and I definitely want to read the next book.

I enjoyed this book despite its unoriginality (e.g. hard boiled detective two women in the run like Thelma and Louise) It had some good twists which made it worthwhile.

Stella DeSoto wants out of Las Vegas – and her plan to get traveling money to escape to a sailboat in the Florida Keys is definitely illegal. What follows is Stella’s mother’s attempts to save her daughter and PI Jim Bean’s attempts to find Stella before she lands herself in jail. Although a bit implausible, this a fun read with a cast of very interesting characters. Thanks to Severn River Publishing and NetGalley for this advance copy. #FlatBackFord #NetGalley

Jim Bean is back! With Sandy, Ely and of course O who is asking for help to track down Stella.
Stella’s mom reports her missing, not only is she missing but she robbing banks, but no one knows it is Stella. Stella hears the open water calling her, an escape from pain, humiliation, with anger (rightfully so) and revenge but how will she get there, and how can she disappear. Jim and O stay need to stay one step ahead of the Fed’s.
Thank you to NetGalley and Severn River Publishing for an early read in exchange for my opinion.
