When DI Bernie Noel goes again to work after maternity depart, she doesn’t look forward to finding a crashed automotive with a lifeless driver on her journey in. However a ugly discovery within the boot of the automotive turns a highway site visitors accident into one thing extra sinister and private for the detective. It isn’t lengthy earlier than Bernie is compelled to rewind six years and confront her failed covert operation in London. However as she relives that failure, can she survive the current hazard too?

I’ve beloved the earlier Bernie Noel books by Pleasure Kluver so was tremendous fast to reply when requested to participate within the weblog tour for Rewind-book 4 within the sequence. You can learn Rewind as a stand-alone police procedural novel however you’d actually get extra from it in the event you’d learn the earlier books within the sequence first.

Bernie has been on maternity depart after giving beginning to daughter Mira however is wanting ahead to getting again to work. Sadly, she doesn’t even get to the workplace on her first day again earlier than getting concerned in her first case! A automotive crash has left a person lifeless however there’s a nasty shock awaiting Bernie within the boot…

This can be a nice sequence and Rewind is a wonderful addition to it. I noticed a softer facet to Berni now that she has develop into a mom and I did marvel how it could have an effect on her profession as I understand how troublesome it may be to take care of that work/life steadiness. And being thrown straight again into the deep finish implies that household life has to take a again seat which isn’t straightforward whenever you’re nonetheless breastfeeding!! The case Bernie is concerned in is a fancy one with threads weaving again by way of the previous however it got here collectively so properly with just a few shocks alongside the way in which!

Pleasure Kluver delivers her characters completely to their outcomes, writing with a assured tone concerning the policing world and its challenges to working moms. I used to be gripped all through and look ahead to extra of the identical sooner or later!

Many due to the writer for my evaluate copy of Rewind.
