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.

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.
