The Devil You Know by P.J. Tracy

3.0

The Devil You Know is the third book in the Detective Maggie Nolan series and while each book is a stand-alone and can be read as such but in my opinion it’s better to start a series from the beginning. There was references back to what happened in the previous books so I understood where things were but you definitely miss the small thing’s when you jump into the middle of a series. 

There’s a lot of moving parts in this story with the multiple murders and the personal side stories of Maggie and Sam. This book is a well written police procedural once you figure out who all the players are and I think if I had read the previous books it wouldn’t have taken me as long to get entrenched in the story. 

I usually try to start series from the beginning so I will probably go back and read the previous books (definitely interested in one of the stories based off the callback references) and then reread this one to better appreciate it. 

Thank you @minotaurbooks and @netgalley for this eARC in exchange for my honest feedback.
