Today it's my turn on the BlogTour Kill for Me by Rebecca Bradley. It's a fast-paced crime thriller.

Review
This is the fifth book in the DI Hannah Robbins series and can absolutely be read as a standalone novel.

This is a domino effect crime. Pressure person A to kill unknown variable, blackmail person B to get rid of the evidence aka person A, and so on. Seems to be the kind of crimes that remain motiveless and perhaps even unsolved. The person at the helm, who is controlling the kills and the narrative is sure nothing can lead straight back to the source.

Would you kill to save a loved one? Would you go against every instinct in your body and kill an innocent person? Weighing the life of an innocent against your own or that of your child. Would you, could you?

The other recurring storyline is Robbins dealing with the way her boss is treating a member of her team. Whilst I absolutely support a diverse and inclusive work environment, and abhor mobbing and/or discrimination, there is a point I want to make. Given the fact that their boss is only privy to fifty percent of all the information, and said colleague decides to keep his disorder and disability a secret, both Robbins and said colleague shouldn't expect special treatment.

As far as their commanding officer is concerned the colleague is being rude and disrespectful, and there is no way he is completing his job correctly with earphones in his ears. The fact that they might be a medical or mental health necessity may not cross his mind, because he can't make assumptions. In this case I felt he had a point, at the same time I understand the need to keep certain issues private, but if it is something so in your face then it has to be addressed in the work environment.

It's a fast-paced crime thriller. The perpetrator appears to be ahead of the police all of the time, except of course the truth is everyone makes a mistake, even if it just a small one.
