The addictive new thriller in the San Diego Case Files series, from Sunday Times bestselling author Karen Rose.

Homicide Detective Kit McKittrick finds herself standing over a dead body in the Shady Oaks retirement centre. Frank Flynn has been stabbed and his room ransacked.

Though he kept his background quiet at the centre, Kit recognises Frank from the San Diego Police Department. Had the former detective been following a trail that led to his murder? When the head of security is also found dead, it points to a conspiracy right at the heart of Shady Oaks.

The one person who might be able to help uncover the truth is just who Kit has been avoiding: Dr Sam Reeves. As a volunteer at the centre and a friend of the victim, the forensic psychologist could be just what her case needs.

But without access to CCTV of the day of the murder, how will Kit catch her killer? And can she do so before anyone else is put in danger?

Storyline runs along really well, but I find the narration irritating. In this tale and the first one the narrator gives Sam such a whiny voice that it puts me on edge!
She maybe should avoid male voices

Good but….

I enjoyed the story overall but it was obvious very early on who the criminal was. However, it was very interesting listening to how Kit, Conner and Sam put it all together And the two elderly female characters are especially interesting and feisty. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

An enjoyable read.

An enjoyable story picking up for last book ( although it can be read as a standalone) but not the very best of Karen Rose and the narration was not my favourite!

Enjoyable but

Loved this story line and the characters, both developed really well throughout the story. Have read all of the Karen Rose books and this one didn’t disappoint.
