Too much dialogue for what it has to be otherwise a decent novel. I've started reading stuff like this to get the mojo back. Let's see where it goes.

A new mystery series that I’m SO excited about continuing! The perfect combo of mystery and light romance. Can’t wait to see where this goes! I’m reading more mystery titles this year and I’m very much enjoying that change in my reading life!

An excellent book. I had already read the follow-up book before grabbing this one. McKittrick and Reeves are very likable protagonists and the author develops the characters nicely and with nuance. The police-psychologist pairing is great, and more unique compared to the more frequent police-lawyer pairing. The crime story itself was a pageturner too. I read a lot of crime/thrillers and it's difficult to completely shock me with a twist - but the one here I really didn't see coming. The marketing as "romantic crime" is a little odd as there's quite little romance in this (or the subsequent) book but I don't mind that at all - as a crime/police procedural, it is well written and I look forward to reading more stories with Kit and Sam.
