Review # 1 was written on 2020-07-04 00:00:00 Jacky Pearson Please note this book was first published as "STAYING POWER" Detective Kate Power is called to investigate a man's body hanging from a bridge. The man is not unknown to her and her business card is found in his pocket .. it's the only identification found. She had met the victim on a plane bringing her home from a holiday. He seemed to be quite pleasant and they spent the time in getting-to-know-you conversation. A few days later, he left a message for her at police headquarters ... a message that she never received. Was the message to be an invitation to dinner .. or something more sinister? Meanwhile, the bullying continues to rear its ugly head, although it has lessened somewhat. These days the target is another woman ... a new member of the team ... a Pakistani. Karen is amassing proof of the one man's shenanigans and hopefully plans to have him ousted. This is second in the series, following MURDER THE BOYS. While I always recommend starting at the beginning of a series, this one is easily read as a stand alone. A well written plot with deftly defined characters, along with a few baffling twists leading to a surprising conclusion makes this a compelling read. Many thanks to Jill Burkinshaw / Books 'n All Book Promotions for the digital copy of this crime fiction. Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-01-08 00:00:00 Jeffrey Dowding This second adventure in policing following Kate Power as she continues to adjust to her new environs and workmates finds her assigned to Fraud temporarily to follow up a line of inquiry stemming from her meeting a man on her return flight from Florence after a vacation. Notice how I packed that sentence? Hah. Well, the author teased us well and good throughout the action, making us wonder if Kate would find a love interest and zinged us with hilarious ending after a lot of stress throughout the book. Kate displays her compassion for others in several challenging situations that should endear the reader to read and demand more books featuring Kate Power. Kindle Unlimited
