VK Powell can be relied upon for a gripping crime drama and this is no exception. The story was well written, gripping and easy to follow. I think it takes a certain confidence and bravery to write about a Police shooting in 2021, particularly to focus on the impact of this on the individual officer concerned. I found myself getting frustrated at the things that were getting missed by the Police officers who were investigating the shooting, so not sure it showed the Police in their best light. Simone's narrative was interesting, I didn't fully believe her back story, especially as she was so sure of herself. The central romance was believable, as were the dynamics in the bar Cop Out between all the lesbians, I liked the bar owner and her friendship with Jerri. A cracking adventure story, perfect light summer reading.
