Detective Inspector Jim Neal and Detective Sergeant Ava Merry have recently been paired as partners in the fictional north city of Stromford. Neither detective is married. Ava is a fitness freak, and Jim lives with his son and sister. These characters are engaging and interesting.

Amy Hill, a nineteen-year-old student at the local college, was found strangled and dumped in a prominent place. She was wearing an expensive piece of jewelry (which was not taken).

Before long, it becomes evident that several people have hidden secrets. My main disappointment was the blurb about this book. It told me who the perp (of one of the crimes) was, and I knew what the final scene would look like. Otherwise, this is an exciting series, and I plan to read more.
