A review by balthazarlawson
When You Are Mine by Michael Robotham

3.0

Philomena "Phil" McCarthy is a police officer, not many of those in the service want her there as she is the daughter of a east end gangster, turned property developer. She has to deal with criminals outside of the police force and more dangerously, those inside the force. Everything starts to unravel for her when she is forced to arrest as hero police officer for assault. From then her career begins a downward spiral, not because she did anything wrong but because of who she was and who he was.

There is a long drawn out beginning to this book and a rather quick ending. There are some unanswered questions, but there is a lot to speculate about. The main character started out likeable enough but I begin thing she was an extremely stupid woman and who could work out what was happening around her and even when she has suspicions she still did the wrong thing. Towards the end I felt she got what she deserved for being so stupid.

Entertaining enough but overall it kind of fell short of the mark.
