***

4.5 stars This is the fourth book in the Gabriella Darin series. There is a lot going on in this book. A runaway girl and the mystery surrounding a cremated man with three mechanical joints among the ashes when there only should have been two. Strangely enough, these two cases are connected. We get to see Elodie run away but not what she saw in that shack to cause her to skedaddle. Lots of twists and turns in this detective fiction thriller. I definitely enjoyed this author so much that I purchased the previous three books in this series on my kindle. This has all the mystery and thrills of a British detective series plus you see everything through the eyes of Gabriella Darin. Her heart for the job just makes you want to read all the things. Definitely pick this up if you are a detective fiction mystery lover.

I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) in return for an honest review. I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title. Opinions are completely my own.
