Fall to Pieces (Philly Heat Series Book 2) by Becky Flade – Review by Julie Johnson
Fall to Pieces by Becky Flade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Lexi Danvers is still trying to come to grips with the horrible and untimely death of her husband, Robert. On top of that, she’s given a new partner in the homicide division. As a detective, she’s dedicated to her job, sometimes too much. As a friend and lover, she’s not as dedicated and uses people, although it’s not always purposeful.
Xavier Knight is the new detective assigned as Lexi’s partner. He’s not without some skeletons in his closet either, although he keeps that door pretty closed. What he’s not happy about is that he’s been hired to keep an eye on Lexi. She’s a loose cannon and could become a liability to the division. Xavier isn’t sure he can defy the trust of his partner.
There is a child killer on the loose and Lexi is pretty sure she knows who’s committing these crimes. How can she solve these murders when her shield is in question?
I love this author and this is only the second book I’ve read of hers. This story is gritty and covers some very difficult themes that are unfortunately happening far too often in our country. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Flade’s work!
