One call changes everything.

When Isla Joyson receives a desperate call from a nun about an impending drug shipment, she sees a chance to break the story of the year. The Sister insists she can’t go to the police and begs for Isla’s help … Then the line is cut.

The next day, the nun’s body is pulled from the Thames River.

Pursuing both justice and the story, Isla’s investigation leads from the cloistered order harboring dark secrets to the highest echelons of British society. When Isla crosses paths with a powerful duke intent on solving this murder without her, the stakes escalate, threatening to destroy both her career and her relationship with the man she loves.

My Thoughts:

This is the second book in the Isla Joyson Series and as much as I enjoyed the first book, I found this one even better. We catch up with Isla as she navigates her way in her journalism job. This time she gets a phone call about a drug shipment that is going to be happening soon, Isla wants to be the first to plug the story but then tragedy strikes when the phone caller ends up dead, is it safe for Isla to continue, to be honest not much will stand in Isla’s way but she does have to be very careful as she does not know what this will lead to. I thought the first paragraph hooked me in straight away and I could not wait to settle in and read more. It was fast paced and gripping, the characters were all round good. I love Isla’s way about her she is full of determination and strength and such a strong independent woman. This book can be read as a standalone but I would suggest reading the first book as it is really good. I was very impressed with this book.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
