Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House for gifting me a digital ARC of the second book in the Kat and Lock series by Jo Callaghan. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
When the body of a man is found crucified at the top of a hill in the British midlands, AIDE Lock—the world’s first AI Detective—and Detective Kat Frank are thrust into the spotlight as they are given their first live case. Then a second body is found dead in the same manner, and suddenly the team is thrust into the media spotlight.
I was a huge fan of the first book in this series, In the Blink of an Eye, and recommend you start with that to learn the backstories of these characters, even though you could definitely read this as a stand alone. Lock reminds me of Data from the Star Trek series - can make calculations in the blink of an eye but struggles to understand human emotions and gut reactions. Kat is still struggling with her empty nest and heart after the death of her husband and their son's departure to college. I love all the members of this detective team and it was so fun to get reacquainted with them and watch them investigate these horrific murders. This is definitely a nod to the near future as AI seems to be integrated more and more into our world. I especially thought the virtual autopsies were fascinating. Can't wait for more books in this series - highly recommended!
