Paradise

Paradise by Patricia Wolf

Okay okay, Patricia Wolf has got me gooooooood. I just downed this drug-induced thriller in two days (parenting/work permitting). I read Outback last month and Wolf has again sucked me in and spat me out like a Gold Coast drug lord.

The book picks up where we left off from Outback so would definitely recommend reading it first. DS Walker is recovering from his injuries and based on the”Hollywood on the” Gold Coast to do some desk work. Of course, that fails to happen. There are multiple cases at play here. Our major drug dealer is back, we have a murder of a local mother & wife of a well sought after sports doctor, the daughter in an induced coma, a gym owner on the take and then we have a beautiful international kite surfer thrown into the mix. What could go wrong?

Well? Everything. This is fast paced, thrilling and as I said I finished in 48 hours. The chapters are short enough to keep you engaged and Wolf does a great job of building this out with the ending; a classic stand off.

Bring on book 3.
