You'll Never Find Me by Allison Brennan

You'll Never Find Me (Angelhart Investigations, #1)

by Allison Brennan

Nothing brings family together like crime. In the first book in the thrilling new Angelhart series from New York Times bestselling author Allison Brennan, private investigator Margot Angelhart helps clients the law overlooks, but when she takes on a case more dangerous than she imagined, teaming up with her estranged siblings may be her only hope for survival.

Working alone as a private investigator is tough. Estranged from her PI family, Margo Angelhart does what she must to get by—including taking on sordid cases that pay the bills, even if she’d rather be helping those the justice system has failed.

That is, until a cheating husband case she’s working intersects with her siblings’ corporate espionage investigation, forcing Margo to cooperate with the Angelhart firm. Now, as the siblings compare notes, it’s clear they need to work together before a white-collar crime escalates to murder.

With far more questions than answers and a key suspect on the run, they’ll need the whole family to pitch in. But as they investigate the ever-twisting mystery, Margo isn’t sharing everything. Can she learn to trust her family and heal their once-close relationship before her secrets put those she loves most in danger?

Solid Series Starter. This has pretty much everything one would want in a family based PI / police procedural type drama series starter. Complicated family dynamics, a compelling case - where in this particular instance (series?) family members find themselves on different sides of the case -, an interesting mystery, and the storytelling to put it all together quite well indeed.  

 

As is typical of such a series, this is clearly going to be a "freak of the week" type with an overall lore and mythos, and both look to be compelling going forward.

 

Fans of the genre generally will find a lot to like here, and those who haven't really dabbled in this kind of tale before will also find a lot to like that could potentially bring in new fans.

 

Ultimately, this is one of those series starter books that does everything it needs to do and does it all quite well.

 

Very much recommended.
