Gripping

Lost Souls by Jenny O’Brien is a gripping contemporary crime thriller. It is the fourth book in the Detective Gaby Darin series but can be read as a stand-alone. I enjoyed catching up with familiar faces.

Once more the action is set around the Llandudno area. This is a place I am familiar with and therefore recognized many of the locations which, for me, added to the realistic feel of the book.

The police force is meticulous under the leadership of Gaby Darin. No stone is left unturned in the pursuit of solving crimes. Gaby Darin is efficient and also caring.

The reader witnesses the bond between a young pair of misfits. We see a teen with a huge capacity to care as he recognizes a fellow lost soul.

With a well thought out and executed plotline, the reader is gripped from start to finish. The beginning of the novel drew me in and had me questioning.

I love this Gaby Darin series. All the stories are exciting, entertaining and gripping.

I received a free copy via Net Galley. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.
