Dead Secret
DC Maggie Jamieson crosses paths once again with Probation Officer Lucy Sherwood when a domestic violence survivor stumbles into her new refuge, unable to speak, desperate for help.
Then another case hits Maggie’s desk. A young man has been murdered, and a curious constellation of black dots has been inked onto his cheek.
That’s when DCI Hastings goes missing and Maggie uncovers a shocking connection that turns the case on its head.
This was the first book of Noelle Hoten's that I have read and while I didn't feel that I had missed anything by not reading the previous books it just didn't do it for me. Very lack lustre writing, it didn't grab me and make me want to keep reading. Too many sub plots and too much of Maggie thinking about what she is going to do with her life. I ended up skipping through a lot of it, just to get to the end.
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for my ARC in return for an honest review.
