I’m happy to be
participating in the Partners in Crime Virtual Book Tour for ANGELS SING TO REST by Chrinda Jones.This is the second installment in the Olivia Gates and Will Green Crime Series by Jones. As part of the tour, Partners in Crime is hosting a tour wide giveaway with six winners. Please see the end of the post for more giveaway details.
Here’s a brief synopsis of ANGELS SING TO REST:
"Angels Sing to Rest" begins where "Darkness Knows Me" left off: after the investigation into the death of the Deep Ellum Killer, Levi Devereux.
Detective
Sergeant Olivia Gates returns from a two-month suspension, to find her team has
gained a new member, her ex-husband is being released from prison, and a
10-year-old street kid has been murdered on her patch of South Dallas.
Her ex
she can deal with, even when he drags their young son into the mix or so she
thinks. The murdered boy with the crushed chest, isn't so easily handled and
weighs heavily on her as more street kids are killed with an unimaginable
sadistic flare and no discernible motive.
If the
continuing body count wasn't stressful enough, Olivia's falling out with longtime
friend and colleague, Doctor Will Green, threatens any hope Olivia had for more
than a friendship with the good doctor.
Drugs,
gaming, prostitution and sadistic murders lead Gates and her team on a trek
through the seamy underbelly of living rough on the streets of downtown Dallas.

My Thoughts ………
Author Chrinda Jones has crafted another gritty crime novel in ANGELS SING TO REST.
Bringing back her protagonists Detective Sergeant Olivia Gates and Dr. Will Green, Jones pulls readers in quickly with a youth’s death and its aftermath. Jones blends the search for a heinous killer with the personal problems of Gates and Green for a well-balanced story. The twists and turns keep readers guessing and on the edge of their seats with suspense.
The characters are likable and well-developed. Their emotions and faults will have readers wanting to know more about them. The author’s eye for detail brings the setting to live through her vivid descriptions.
While this is the second installment in the series, it can be read on its own. However to have a better understanding of the problems Gates is dealing with, readers may want to read the first installment before ANGELS SING TO REST.
This is a fascinating thriller that will capture your attention from beginning to end. It will leave you looking forward to more exploits from this series.

Despite what it says about my character, murder mysteries (cosy or not) form part of my comfort reading. What an intriguing premise - and generous giveaway.
