Great book

This narrator I wonderful. The story was a gripping. I enjoyed the whole series and hope there are more of Ava Gold

Blake Pierce’s Best Series!!!!

Ava Gold is the absolute best series Blake Pierce has going for her right now. I was also a huge fan of the Zoe Prime series but for some reason she abruptly stopped writing additional books in that series. It didn’t feel like it ended it just stopped, I still hope she will add to it or end it with a decent finale.
Anyway, this book is an excellent addition to this series Ava Gold is the widow of a fallen officer. After cornering his Captain and shaming him publicly to hire her so she can support her child she quickly proves herself to be a valuable investigator in NYC in 1929. At that time women were Dames and Broads and rarely taken seriously. Women police officers carried a whistle instead of a gun and most gave parking tickets. Ava grew up in her father’s boxing gym and is a force to be reckoned with. She soon made the newspapers and became the star of the precinct and granted the privilege of carrying a weapon. She’s been loaned to a different precinct because she is in an almost relationship with another male detective.
In this book a man jumps off of the top floor of the Chrysler building while it is under construction. The police deem it a suicide, Ava believes it is something else.
Kaden Kroll does a wonderful job narrating.
This book has my Very Highest Recommendation.
