Many thanks to NetGalley, Amazon Publishing | Thomas and Mercer, Brilliance Audio, and Megan Beatie Communications for gifting me a physical, digital and audio ARC of the latest book in the wonderful Keera Duggan series by Robert Dugoni, with the brilliant Saskia Maarleveld narrating the audiobook. All opinions expressed in this review are my own – 5 stars!
In a quiet Seattle neighborhood, a suspected drug smuggler and his girlfriend are murdered in their home. A young man, Michael Westbrook, is accused of the brutal attacks. His uncle, JP Harrison, is an investigator for Keera Duggan, and asks her to help save his nephew. But getting justice for Michael may have far-reaching consequences.
I’m such a huge Robert Dugoni fan and this third book in the Keera Duggan series is why. It’s such a sharp, legal thriller, police procedural and family drama. This would work as a stand-alone, but please read the first two books because they are so good, and they really delve into the family aspect of these books. This one explores a lot of relevant topics as well, most importantly, the high rate of black young men convicted of crimes they didn’t do. Be sure to read the Author’s Note for more insight into the thoughts that became this novel. I alternated between reading and listening to the audiobook, and Saskia Maarleveld nailed it as always.
