New crime series to enjoy

⭑⭑⭑⭑  An enjoyable romp, Stone Cold Heart gives Constable Cat Kinsella and her compatriots at the London Met police a new murder to solve. I felt instantly comfortable with these characters and their easy comradery. Even the characters being questioned came across as normal people with normal problems. I liked this story very much as it brought to mind Susie Steiner and Olivia Kiernan but in a more casual, chummy kind of way. Cat is a capable copper and full of bright ideas and enthusiasm. Easy to warm to as she juggles a boyfriend, a job, a shady family and some less than honorable mistakes on her part.

I haven't read the first book in the series so it might be a good idea to visit there before moving on to this novel. But it is not hard going without the backstory as there is much recollection of previous events to keep new readers aware of what transpired before. Stone Cold Heart is a good book from a promising series that will keep you guessing with plausible twists thrown in to liven things up.
