It followed DCI Kat Frank who had taken leave of work after her husband died of cancer. Her boss informed her of the pilot which was taking place with the AI technology and wanted her to head it up investigating the cold cases of two missing boys.
The story had a good pace and I didn't find myself getting bored. It was also very current with mentions of "since COVID" and the "King Charles III" hospital in Birmingham.
I would recommend it to readers who like crime but also to readers like myself who don't read crime fiction as standard.

A great read! The mystery keeps going throughout and Kat’s swearing and sarcasm made me laugh despite the sometimes heavy topics. I can’t wait to get stuck into book 2.
