Thank you to NetGalley, Jennifer Chase and Bookouture for an ARC copy of These Still Black Waters.

The book was enjoyable and had some interesting characters. I found the story interesting and it held my attention. I really wanted to know who the killer was and the reason or motive behind it.

Some of the actions made by the main characters Katie and Sean were a bit sloppy. They are experienced police with military backgrounds in a strange town with some strange people yet they don’t question things they way I would think someone in their shoes would. As they are working the investigation they learn of surveillance cameras around town. They also experience a break-in yet they never search for any type of listening device or anything.

I find it strange that with her training, Katie is not more aware of her surroundings. She puts herself in danger a few times when someone is able to sneak up behind her when she is unaware.

One of my favourite parts of the book was her relationship with her canine partner Cisco.

Overall, I enjoyed reading this book and recommend others read it as well.
