My review.
No Safe Place by Robin Mahle.
Detective Rebecca Ellis Book 1.
Detective Rebecca Ellis has some big shoes to fill. Her father was the legendary detective, Hank Ellis, now retired from the Bangor Police Department. Emerging from his shadow hasn’t been easy. So when she’s assigned to work with new hire, Detective Euan McCallister, Ellis is determined to keep their investigation right on track. The explosive fire in a church parking lot looks straightforward at first. Claire Allen, a volunteer at the church, burned to death in her car. But then Ellis discovers the seatbelt had been rigged, trapping Claire in the inferno. This was no accident. It was murder.
I really enjoyed this book. Rebecca was my favourite. I can't wait for next book. 5*.
Blurb.
