Perfect for you if...

You enjoy police procedurals where the detective's personal life is just as messy as the case they're solving.
You appreciate protagonists who are flawed and complicated rather than heroic in a traditional sense.
You want a mystery that moves fast but takes time to develop its characters and their emotional arcs.

Maybe not for you if...

You're sensitive to depictions of animal cruelty or need to avoid stories dealing with miscarriage and abortion.
You prefer cosy mysteries or light reads without heavy personal drama woven through the investigation.
You want a protagonist who has it mostly together and doesn't bring chaos to every relationship around them.

About this book

Police officer Kate Murphy believed she had moved past her difficult past after marrying Matt, but circumstances prove otherwise. As deceptions accumulate in both her personal and professional life, a series of animal deaths begins occurring in and around Boston. Kate must piece together clues and untangle a network of lies to solve the case and regain stability in her life. This police procedural follows a character navigating challenges in a male-dominated profession while confronting secrets and conflicts at home and work. Content note: This book contains depictions of animal cruelty, miscarriage, and abortion.
