Summary
Marty Hogan was a good cop, until a shocking case sent her to the razor's edge....
A sadistic killer pushed Chicago cop Marty Hogan past her limits - and it was all caught on video. She lost her job, her sense of self, her entire world...until an open detective position in small-town Texas gave her a chance at redemption.
But she's about to learn that the past always catches up....
Police Chief Clay Settlemeyer knows all about mistakes and second chances - he's still earning his own, so he's willing to give Marty the opportunity to prove herself. But when her ex-partner is murdered, it looks like Chicago is coming to small-town Texas with a vengeance.

Predictable and wordy
Actually I thought this was pretty dreadful. Would have binned it if it hadn’t been free. I usually like this author. But this was a bit Mills & Boon with sex and the reader was gushy. Somewhere among all that there was a crime drama, but even that was predictable.

is this crime or coitus?
I don't really expect explicit sex scenes in my crime novels, and found them intrusive. The story was reasonably engaging, but interrupted by the interminable and unnecessary descriptions of sex.
I did not mind the narration, and found her character voices consistent and well done.

Poor story, poor naration
I bought this book after reading/listening to several of Linda Castillo's Kate Burkholder books which I quite enjoyed. This book however is a stand alone novel that I found difficult getting through. It is a bit 'Mills and Boon' , full of verbal cliché s in which often after reading half a sentence you could write the second half without thinking. The plot is also a cliché and the main player appear more interested in sex than anything else. To me the characters appeared like cardboard cut-outs and I didn't even finish the book. I really didn't care what happened to them. Equally poor was the narrator's tone and intonation which made me think she was reading a children's book. The narrator's voice is clear enough but to my ear her sing song voice seemed totally inappropriate for this type of book. While I have no evidence to back it up, I even wondered whether this is a book the author wrote some time ago while still learning her craft and which she has released now to cash-in on the success of the Burkholder series. Perhaps I am wrong and the author has written this recently and is trying to branch out but whatever the case, I was very disappointed . I see there is a second stand-alone book our by the same author and with the same narrator. I won't be buying it.
