This story had so many things going on that it was intriguing. I loved how Tom Mariner’s team is brought back together by this one case because everyone one of them were actually working a different case, but they came together in the end.

DI Tom Mariner has been promoted to (Acting) Detective Chief Inspector and is working with Charlie Glover and a new DC Victoria Jasson, who was transferred to Birmingham, due to an extensive service reorganization. DC Millie Khatoon is on maternity leave and DC Tony Knox has been promoted as well. Tom works with his new DC to find a missing girl from a high profile family. The team will work diligently to find the young girl, but the intertwining of people in the lives of Tony and Millie and Tom’s case will open a whole door to this case.

I am a big fan of DC Tom Mariner and love to read this series. This story did not disappoint. It drew me in from the beginning and threw me for a loop at the end. I love how Chris puts so much into these stories that keeps you thinking the whole time you are reading. Not only do I enjoy the story, but it keeps my mind focused on what is going on and I really get into these stories. I give this story a 5 ⭐️ review and look forward to more DI Mariner books.
