The pain from being abandoned never went away.

After briefly coming back into her life, Joyce's mother is now gone, for good.

Murdered.

Detective Luca knows he shouldn't work directly with a minor, but he’s a father, unable to resist the call for help.

What he discovers is revolting, more disturbing than murder.

I enjoyed this book. This is book eight in a series that just gets better as each book comes out. You don't need to read the books in order to enjoy because each book is solved, so no continuation into the next book or cliff hanger that makes you get the next book unless you want to and why wouldn't you? Great if you want to revisit the series again. With so many amateur sleuths books out there it is nice to sit back with a police procedural to see how the real work is done and nobody does it better than Dan Petrosini, who keeps you guessing especially as the main character is working on two cases and playing the hero keeping an eye on a battered wife. With plenty of suspects and false alibis to check on Luca certainly has his work cut out for him, I did guess the killer but was torn between two and it could have gone either way. There is also a nice balance between the cop work and the trails of family life. I liked how this story played out at the end and looking forward to the next book.
When a woman is murdered in her own home Detective Frank Luca is assigned the case and narrows the suspects down to her ex lovers. But which one? Her first husband who will do anything to protect the child she abounded? The husband who wants to get back together with her and the one who found the body? Or the current boyfriend with the troubled past? Her the year old daughter wants her killer found but before Luca and Derrick can even finish the first round of questioning Luca is pulled off the case to investigate a high profile robbery gang that is sending ripples around the city. Will Luca be able to solve the robberies quickly enough so he can turn his attention back to what matters, the difficult murder case and help a little girl find closer?
I like the narrator. He has quite a deep voice but it plays well for the tough but slightly damaged police detective.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
