This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Thank you to Bookouture for my copy of this book via Netgalley. This is the third book in the Detective Beck series but this could be read as a standalone.

Detective Beck is a character that you can't help but love. Beck has many issues and is hardly a role model but you can't help but root for him. Not only do you want him to solve this very odd case but you also want him to solve his personal problems. The thing I love about Beck is his dogged determination. Beck is smart and a damn fine detective but his superiors don't always appreciate his methods.

This case was quite the interesting one. Eddie Kavanagh was brutally murdered but who would do that to a man that is so well-loved? This case has twists and turns all over the place and for a while, I did not know how it was all related. But in the end, everything comes together in a rather exciting way.

Michael's writing is excellent. I was gripped not only on the case but also on Beck's personal issues. I really enjoyed returning to Beck's world and can't wait to return again soon.
