This book started out strong for me, which I started while reading The Minotaur Sampler, Volume 18. This was one of three previews I read and I was so into it I immediately requested the full version to review. Detective Inspector Samantha Hansen has been gone from work for six months after an assault from a co-worker and a breakdown. Sam is brought back to work when a fourteen-year-old girl is found and Sam feels compelled to find her killer. Sam’s dedication and drive in her work is admirable, but she is still a broken woman. She has faced many injustices in her life and they have left an impact on her. When she goes back to work, she is not given the same position she had before and has a junior co-worker assigned to her who she is very rude and dismissive to. She often will not let him even finish a sentence. Unfortunately as the book progresses, so does Sam’s decline in reason, mental health, and her reliability as a narrator. By the end of the book I disliked it greatly, and had a difficult time remembering what I liked so much about the beginning.
2/5 Stars
