Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press, Minotaur Books and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest book in the Black Harbor series by Hannah Morrissey, with the audiobook perfectly narrated by Angela Dawe and Robb Moreira. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars rounded up!
Detective Nik Kole finds a dead body in a clubhouse wrapped in bags and doused in bleach. But things take a turn when the body is identified as Tommy Greenlee, the ex-husband of Hazel and Kole's ex-lover. Hazel returns to Black Harbor to find out how killed Tommy, only to find that people are looking to her as a suspect.
I think this series keeps getting better – I’d definitely recommend starting from the beginning, but there’s enough info to enjoy as a standalone as well. But what I really enjoy in this series is how the characters all repeat, but sometimes in major roles and other times in minor roles in the various books. The main character from Hello, Transcriber is back as a main character in this book, so we get to see how things have changed for her, as well as her relationship with Detective Nik Kole. Plus, some previous storylines come to a resolution. This storyline mirrors the town of Black Harbor – gritty and dark – delving more into the seedy drug world tearing up the town. Morrissey's writing and the narration brings this town to life. Wonderful series!
