Her Deadly Promise by Carla Kovach
4.0
When a young single mother with a dark secret is murdered, it's up to DI Gina Harte and her team to find the killer. It is the twelfth book in the Detective Gina Harte series, but the first I've read. I had no problems connecting with Gina and other members of her team, especially DC Paula Wyre.
I really enjoyed the author's style of writing. Many of the chapters are told from Detective Harte's point-of-view and those chapters read like a police procedural novel. The other chapters are told from the various witnesses and suspects and those chapters are more like a domestic drama. There are friends, lovers, secrets, betrayals, and some pretty despicable characters in the book, but plenty to like about the story. Gina has her own drama since her boss is also her ex-boyfriend, but she tries to keep her personal life separate from the job as best as she can. I like the way Gina and her team keep with it to separate the truth from the lies in order to solve the case. The book gets off to a great start and there are few different plot twists as the story progresses, I admit to experiencing some confusion in the middle part of the book. However, things get better again and the ending of this suspenseful novel is unexpected. I would definitely read further books in this series.
