This is the second installment in the Caren Wait series, however it reads well as a standalone. When two celebrities are murdered and the media frenzy begins, Caren finds herself under immense pressure to solve the case quickly. As she spends more time with her team, she starts to see their strengths and learns that they can really rise to the occasion when needed. Even when she has to reprimand them, they respond positively and gain more respect for her—something her predecessor .The investigation takes her all over West Wales, uncovering strange characters and diving deep into the mystery.

I absolutely love Caren and her team—the author paints such vivid pictures that I can easily imagine each one of them. The story is filled with action: drama, foot chases, car pursuits—it had me hooked! I didn’t expect the red herring, though I found it a bit of a letdown. However, the thrilling ending and shocking cliffhanger more than made up for it. Now I can’t wait for the next book!

I highly recommend this novel and the author!
Thank you to NetGalley, the publishers and the author for giving me the opportunity to review this book with an ARC.

This is the second DI Inspector Caren Waits mystery, but it works well as a standalone story. It was so well-done, that I can’t wait to go back and read the first book! Caren is settling into her role with her new team in a new town when a celebrity is found murdered at a movie location at Tenby, Wales and Caren’s team is investigating. From the very beginning, I was completely engrossed with the story. The characters (especially Caren) are well-rounded and the mystery fascinating. Prepare to spend the day reading when you begin this book.
Thanks to Highgate Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC.
