About this listen

Explosive drama erupts when the life of a teen with a tortured past is jeopardized by her secret tattoo. Handwriting expert Claudia Rose joins forces once again with Detective Joel Jovanic, who is investigating a firebombing, a young woman found dead in a dumpster, and the disappearance of a journalist. The investigation heats up when Jovanic uncovers evidence that the same tattoo is linked to his cases.

Hit the lights and siren because this is one fast ride from beginning to end.” (Lee Lofland, author of Police Procedure and Investigation and founder and director of the Writers’ Police Academy)

“Inkslingers Ball is the perfect novel for an afternoon by the pool. With vivid characters, smooth writing, and a twisty plot, Sheila Lowe has crafted a mystery that will keep you guessing to the very end.” (Boyd Morrison, international best-selling author)

This is another fast paced and very readable book with a handwriting expert as the central sleuth, this time set in the murky world of inkslingers, or tattoo artists. I didn't see the ending coming as it was cleverly constructed. An interesting read and one that gave me a chance to learn about tattoos as well as enjoy the story.

Another truly engrossing story in this series.
The handwriting analysis aspect is fascinating and with it tied into interesting cases these stories are unique and refreshing, add in the relationship Between Claudia, Annabel and Joel and you have another interesting dimension to the story.

Both narrators did a great job, the dual narration worked really well here.
