Abby is a detective wanting to find out who killed her parents as it is a cold case that she has been told multiple times now not to look into. But she is determined to figure out what happened to them.
The other main character is Luke who is a private investigator who ends up finding a woman murdered and that is how he and Abby end up meeting and dealing with one another on a case.
Things end up happening and stuff goes wrong and lives are threatened and of course, things get blown way out of proportion to a certain extent.

Overall this book ended up being slightly disappointing to me. Abby and Luke were okay characters and were good at their jobs. It just seemed a bit much at times and the ending was extremely unsatisfying to me and I don't feel like we really got answers to anything. I don't really have a lot to say other than that honestly.
This series just isn't one for me and that's okay.

An exciting start of the new series!

Detective Abby Hart´s parents were viciously killed 27 years ago. She is more than ready to investigate further, but she needs a reasonable proof to do so - and the cold-blood murder of an old lady might be just that. Because the old lady is blood relatives with the governor, who has been best friends with the parents. Unfortunately, the governor does not want to talk about the old case. And shockingly, the only one who gets Abby´s struggle is PI Luke Murphy, the hunky show-off of an investigator. But there is more about Luke than meets the eye, and it is not just his personal investment in the same cold case.

Yay. Finally! Ms Cantore is a former police officer with more than 20 years of police service under her belt, and it shows. Her heroine is believable and professional, which is not always the case. The novel feels very realistic. And I am so thankful for that! I sometimes suffer because of the logical issues in my mystery plots, so I am happy for the authoress who knows how to play her field.
I also love how unconventional and fierce Abby is - I love the Christian heroine who is capable, strong, struggling and not happy of the pat answers. Abby struggles with injustice - and while she longs to believe in God´s justice, she struggles with the waiting - and because she very much knows this pain, she wants to serve to bring the justice and the closure to the victims´ families. And not everyone gets her and her ideals. Certainly not her pastor fiance, who is pushing the leopardess to change her spots, to say it figuratively. But I very much get her and her passion for justice, and so does Luke, whose uncle had been murdered, too. I am happy for this love triangle, too! Love to have two good men interested in a woman - and the only one of them who truly sees the heart of the woman.

And now I am off to read the second volume in this series!
