5 stars from reader Jonathan Tindale:

A sharply written detective investigation set in Los Angeles, Angel’s Lust features a pair of detectives competing against one another to solve the murder of a young man. The body’s burns and wounds lead the detectives into the dark underbelly of LA’s S&M scene and some seedy characters, which from what I’ve heard about Los Angeles sounds pretty plausible! The story is pacey and drew me in from the get go. I enjoyed the plot and the case as it unfurled, but like all great detective fiction the quality of the writing really shone through with the characterisation and especially the detectives, Verity Thrett and Fin McNabb who are both are well drawn and quickly established as relatable and sympathetic, if flawed characters. I hope to see more of these two in future stories. Highly recommended.
