Robyn Tate is a Houston homicide detective who tries to maintain order in her professional life while her personal life is in chaos. A computer hacker has acquired some video of her most private moments via her laptop, and threatens to release it to all her colleagues, family, and friends. Coincidentally, she is working on a murder case of another woman who, it turns out, was also being blackmailed by this same guy. Well-written police procedural with more of a personal side to it, as Robyn not only has to deal with personal and family issues, but also her own inner turmoil as she constantly worries about the fallout if they learn of her secrets. On the edge of my seat throughout the story, I was very pleasantly surprised at how good this book was. I did notice the British author uses a few terms and expressions (in dialog) that I guarantee no native Texan has ever used, but I simply found that mildly amusing and I'd still deem this as a five-star effort. I will definitely read more by this author.
