A dancer friend of PI Samantha McNamara commits suicide, while an ex-footballer is found dead. His wife is having an affair with another friend of Sam's - Dr. Roger Peterson. Is there some connection.
Sam and her boyfriend ex-Inspector Reece Hash must found out who the psychopath is before it's too late.
Unfortunately I found the characters to self-absorbed, I just didn't like anyone. For me there was also too much description - it was over-written.
A NetGalley book.

So this is the latest installment about Toronto Private Investigator Samantha McNamara and her partner Reece Hash and the third in this series that I have read this year.
This is Samantha's most personal case yet, as one of her old friends becomes a suspect in a homicide. Out of the three books in this series that I have now finished, this was my favorite. It was deliciously dark and disturbing. L.E. Fraser once again handles a large cast of characters with absolute ease. The only thing I really need to mention, and this isn't actually a criticism of the writing or the author, but just a personal reaction to this book: I absolutely 100% hated all of Samantha's so-called friends, and at times it was driving me nuts that she would just put up with their egocentric and rude behavior. I think because of that I found it a lot harder to "like" Samantha in this one. I felt truly sorry for everything poor old Reece had to put up with and thought the matters were resolved too easily. I wouldn't haven't been as forgiving.
That aside, this was a great story and I particularly liked how the villain was characterized and voiced in this one. Very well done and really chilling. I'm hoping we'll see more of Samantha and Reece in the future.
I received a copy of this book via Netgalley. ( )
