Jennifer Brantley is found dead with her wrists slashed, is it suicide or murder? Detective Chris Jeffries and her partner Adam Hunt investigate in this crime drama set in Houston.
Okay, latex gloves on, this is a good one. Razor’s Edge is a regular Crime Scene Investigation thriller. Anne ticks all the boxes in her novel that reads like a dream. Good dynamics between the two detectives, plenty of science behind the forensics, a drug I have not heard of before, a plot that pokes suspicion at a lot of characters, an awareness of police procedures and the frustrations of police work. Anne has clearly done her research well and her book reads like any successful television police drama. Full credit to Anne because television viewers get their story in one hit, whilst book readers often read a few pages at a time. Yet her story is so beautifully put together that you can read it in short bouts and lose nothing from the content or flow.
The plot of Razor’s Edge is a good one and develops at a good, steady pace. I got a lot of pleasure from reading this book and look forward to reading other novels from Anne. I thought Razor’s Edge was a GOOD read and will vote it 4 stars. It was not an OUTSTANDING read for which I would vote 5 stars BUT Razor’s Edge certainly pleased me and gave me my daily fix of reading joy. This is not an okay read that just passes the time but a GOOD read that gets your brain searching for the answers to Jennifer’s sudden death.
Razor’s Edge is available as an Amazon Kindle eBook and was written in 2014
