BOOK SYNOPSIS:
When Nick O’Flaherty arrives at the scene of a double homicide to find he has a witness to the crime, he thinks it’s his lucky day. But when he realizes his witness is suffering from amnesia and can’t even remember his own name, Nick wishes he’d gone with his gut and put in for vacation time.
Then Nick’s boyfriend and former Recon teammate, Kelly Abbott, joins him in Boston, and Nick finds his hands a little too full as the case and his personal life collide. The witness he’s dubbed “JD” is being tailed by Julian Cross, a retired CIA hitman. To complicate matters further, JD forms an attachment to Nick that Nick struggles not to respond to as they search for the key to JD’s identity.
Trying to determine whether JD is friend or foe as they investigate the crime puts them on the trail of a much older mystery. When multiple attempts are made on their lives, Nick is forced to turn to old enemies and new allies to solve a centuries-old crime before he and Kelly get added to the history books.
REVIEW:
This is another strong addition to the newly developed Sidewinder series – which is a spinoff of Abigail Roux’s Cut and Run series. I am a HUGE fan of the Cut and Run series and was really excited that Abi was allowing us to stay within this universe with the Sidewinder spinoff. Historically I have not been a huge fan of Nick’s character. I have actually begun to change my way of thinking when it comes to Nick due to this detailed insight into his personality and life. I absolute LOVE him and Kelly. They are so refreshing to me and work so absolutely perfectly together. The only reason this book doesn’t get a five star review is because I found the treasure hunt aspect of the story hard to follow and a little disinteresting. That in now way diminishes the incredible story telling and intriguing nature of Abi’s books and I will always follow any series she decides to write. I’m very optimistic about where this series will go, she has so many options and I hope it lasts for a long time! I highly recommend all of these books for anyone who loves action, intrigue, comedy and love!
