Publisher's summary

Meet Zoe Finch, West Midlands Police's newest Detective Inspector. She's outspoken, ambitious, and damaged. And she's working a case that could make her career, or cost her everything...

Fresh from the success of the Canary investigation into depravity and corruption at the highest levels, she's attracted attention. Not least from Assistant Chief Constable Bryn Jackson.

But when Jackson is brutally murdered on the night of his retirement party, Zoe is dragged into a case that's deeply personal.

All the evidence points to the victim's downtrodden wife, who has secrets of her own. But Zoe begins to suspect all isn't as it seems. Could Jackson's death be linked to the Canary case? And what is her new boss, DCI David Randle, hiding?

Seeking out the truth will force Zoe to confront her own past, and put her career, and her team's lives, on the line.

Deadly Wishes is a gritty crime thriller perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Caroline Mitchell, and the BBC's Line of Duty.

Good But Not As Good As DCI Leslie Clark series

maybe because I listened to the Leslie Clark series 1st I struggled to see the edge in Zoe Finch because in DCI Leslie's series she is softer spoken and political. But I do really like the serie thus far.

Loved It. The Killer a Surprise Reveal

This is a well written novel excellently narrated. The murder case is solved, while the corruption that plays out prior to this story, and during it remains to play out in future volumes of the Zoe Finch series.

I could not get past the 5th chapter

Very Very Very slow. Too many descriptions and lacks character. I could not move on. Jan Cramer is awesome but even she could not breath life in this the first few chapters.

What the sloppy police work??

I love Jan Cramer as a narrator. I love police procedurals, especially English ones with detectives. Stuck this one out all the way to the end waiting for a decent result to the end. Didn’t get that. Oh well, that was a waste of money and time.
