Nash Baker was once a celebrated cop, but his career was ended when he chose to take justice into his own hands. Now he’s living a quiet life in a small town caring for the local wildlife and trying to stay away from trouble.
Jesse Redpath has a new job in a new town, Satellite – the stormy weather that greets her first few days on the new beat seems like a sign for what’s to come. A local has died in what seems like an accident, but Jessie isn’t so sure that ‘accident’ wasn’t planned. All evidence seems to point to Nash, but Jessie’s not sure about that either.
This is the follow up to Canticle Creek, which I read and reviewed a few months ago. This is equally as good. Well written and paced. Believable characters that we can identify with. Great description and an intriguing storyline that holds attention to the end. There are lots of references to the previous book and, indeed, many of the original characters are here too. It does read like the next episode but it still works as a standalone story as well. On the whole it’s a great read.
My thanks to #NetGalley for this free ARC in exchange for my honest review.
