Beneath Dark Waters by Karen Rose

5.0

Karen Rose returns to New Orleans for a story that will keep you reading long into the night.

As assistant District Attorney Kaj (pronounced pie) Cordozo's son is targeted when a man is remanded in custody for beating a doctor to death.

That man is Aaron Gates. Who it turns out is connected to a gang Sixth Day. Whom NOPD believe long disbanded but now believe are targeting Kaj's son.

But are they?

That's what Kaj has employed Burke Brossard Private Investigation Agency to find out and also to keep his son safe.And Val Sorenson is tasked with the job. But Val has a personal connection. As her brother Van was murdered by a member of Sixth Day four years ago.

Yet, as the investigation gets underway it becomes increasingly clear there is more at play than anyone thought and all eyes soon move to Aarons brothers. 

And Val starts to question why her brother was murdered. Only the answer isn't the one she expected.

Yet, as the danger mounts Val is more determined than ever to do whatever it takes to keep Elijah and Kaj safe. 

However, with threats coming from every direction and trouble knowing who the team can trust. This is not an easy task.

And with a fast-paced, edge of your seat and brilliantly unpredictable storyline. This was a gripping read. That I'd one hundred percent recommend to crime fiction fans everywhere

My thanks to Headline and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an early copy of Beneath Dark Waters. 😊
