About this listen
Sometimes, the most dangerous animals are the ones you let inside.
When a man hires Emery Hazard to track down a teenager who, he claims, robbed him, Hazard isn’t convinced. The story has holes in it, and the client seems eager—too eager—to keep the authorities from getting involved. But Hazard is willing to play along; he suspects something much darker is going on, and he wants to know what it is.
Then his husband, John-Henry Somerset, connects the boy in question to an ongoing suspicious death investigation, and both men realize they’ve stumbled upon something much more complicated. There are too many loose threads: missing money, stolen jewelry, a husband back from the dead, and a string of violent assaults on men paying for sex. And there are too many people with their own agendas.
After Hazard’s client turns up dead, though, the pressure is on. The killer isn’t done yet, and the closer Hazard and Somers come to unearthing the connection between the victims, the greater the danger. They find themselves in a race to uncover the truth before another victim is claimed—and, if Somers is really lucky, in time for him to plan the perfect Valentine’s Day.

Colt growth as a caricter

We have a complex murder mystery to tangle with; one in which I get changing my mind as to who did what and wondering if I should feel sympathetic towards any of the main suspects. Once again you wonder why people have children and also how they don't understand that belittling others, and acquiring more and more material things won't make you any happier.
So, that storyline alone would have kept me interested but we also get the backdrop of Hazard and Somerset's everyday life, which it can be argued is still messy but I would argue not as painful as the other books in the series. We see growth for Somerset, Hazard and Colt, both as a family but also as individuals. Best of all you can't miss out on Hazard giving advice on how to maintain relationships. You may laugh but you see him demonstrate this in how he supports Somerset as he works out if he has what it takes to be police chief or is he going to continue being other people's puppet of punchbag.
Chapter 22 and the final chapter have been added to my list of comfort reads as they contain some of hardest but most beautiful moments in the book. Aah, the power of love. Gregory Ashe I salute you and Tristan James' you nailed the narration as always.
Hazard and Somerset rock

If the previous arc of novels laid Hazard bare, this one seems to be zeroing in on Somers. Life as chief of police isn't a bed of roses. Far from it. And then there's his husband, and their foster son, both of whom seem to attract trouble with ease.
As ever, Ashe skilfully combines a painfully truthful look at family life with police procedure and an intriguing, all-too-plausible mystery.
Burning hot and cold
