4 Stars from me
A wonderful introduction to Detectives Jazzy Solanki and Annie McQueen who initially seem like an odd pairing but soon had me routing for the Jazz Queens!
Although the subject matter and the framing of the murders in this story are dark, the humour put me in mind of Cold Granite by Stuart MacBride, which is heady praise indeed!
As well as being an intro to Jazzy, Annie and the team, there is of course some perverse murders to solve and once Jazzy realises there might be a link to her past things really step up a notch. This unlikely pairing make for a formidable duo once they settle into their groove and manage to trust each other – they end up being a great team and I found them both endearing characters to follow.
I’ve enjoyed Liz Mistry books before and so didn’t hesitate to read The Blood Promise – and I can confirm that Mistry has another sure fire series on her hands and I look forward to reading the next in the series.
My thanks to the author, NetGalley and HQ for an ARC in return for an honest review.
