Just when you think that Alice Blanchard won't set the bar higher after engulfing her last work Trace of Evil ~she hits the high notes and keeps on running.
The Wicked Hour was splendid beginning with a 'Jane Doe' found raped in an alley with the only clue being a callused hand often found with violinist.Detective Natalie is on the case from the start and refused to give up in bringing home justice and she'll have to work quick as it seems everything is falling under.
What I know comes direct from Alice, "The beauty of the world has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder." -The Wicked Hour
The heart pounding action, this exciting police procedural investigations, the fast and quick thinking on the part of the characters and the immense feeling of raw shock reverberated throughout this mystery novel.
In the end there's more than one person that passed away and more than one that may face the wrath of justice.
A fab new work by Alice Blanchard that I devoured in one sitting over the weekend.
Thank you to Alice, the pub, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for closing out 2020 with a bang!
