Short Summary of the book:

This book tells the story of Lieutenant Detective Jacob Wilder of Las Vegas PD. He is bored in his job and longs for a more challenging and interesting case to put his teeth into. What he gets in answer to his wish is not quite what he might have really wanted.

What I liked about the book:

I particularly liked how it remained unknown until the end of the book how things would turn out. And was it actually really known at the end of the book?

What I didn’t like about the book:

There was nothing I didn’t like about the book.

My favourite bits in the book:

I loved where Jacob continued to look into things and didn’t stop looking when the answer appeared in front of him. The undercurrent of romance in a close friendship is also interesting and opens up further possibilities.

My least favourite bits in the book:

I liked the entire book.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

I understand from the title and how the end remained open-ended more books are planned in a series.

What books could this be compared to and why?

This book reminded me of other detectives I’ve read. Detectives are one of my favourite genres.

In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

Children
No
Young Adult
Possibly
Adult
Yes

If you like Book or genre this book may be the book for you.

I look forward to reading more books by this author.
