DI Clare Mackay is recruited to a top secret internal investigation, whilst handling a murder investigation and a major trial of an organised crime boss. It becomes clear that there are links and to her past life. Set in and around St Andrew's in what appear authentic detailed locations. Fast paced if somewhat improbable. (

"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer… "

DI Clare Mackay is taken to a secure location in the remote Scottish hills by her boss DCI Alastair Gibson. There, she is introduced to ethical hacker Gayle Crichton and told about a critical security breach coming from inside Police Scotland. Clare is sworn to secrecy and must conceal Gayle’s identity from colleagues until the source is found.

Clare finds her hands full with the responsibility of providing protection of a key witness, Tamsin Quinn, due to give evidence in a high profile court case the following week.as well as investigating the murder of a university student.

This is the third book in the DI Clare Mackay series. Even though I haven't read the first two books, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was fast paced and had a lot of twists and turns, some of which were quite surprising.

I can’t wait for the next book to know how the story continues. Until then I shall keep guessing the answer for the situation that arises at the end.. Hopefully I shall get it right !!

Thank You to NetGalley and Canelo for this ARC!! (

The plotting on this one was a bit all over the place. As for the ending... obviously not Geoffrey. (

Don’t you just love it when you open a book and bam, you are engaged on the first page?! I am not sure what it is about Todd’s writing that makes the DI Clare Mackay mysteries so easy to read. Perhaps it is because her characters are far from perfect, they make mistakes, use bad judgment which makes them real and relatable. They have relationships which are often “of the moment” leading to all sorts of interesting and sometimes messy situations. And of course, there is crime, witness protection, courtroom drama, murder, diabolical dealings, and a warning to trust no one. Now about the ending, - a little tease, an intake of breath and uh oh can’t even guess what comes next. What is this girl to do? What is there not to love? Exactly, get on with it and read this latest installment while I wait impatiently for the next adventure of DI Mackay.

Thank you NetGalley and Canelo for a copy. (
