Daughters of Eve
Nina Campbell
Reviewed by Helen
What an awesome debut, this book is fabulous, a real page turner, so well written anyone who enjoys a good crime story that has so much emotion in it as well then you need to get out and buy, or borrow this book and read it, I could barely put it down, getting to know Detective Emilia Hart was the best, I was cheering her on, what a woman.
Detective Emilia Hart is in front of the court house in Sydney when a top barrister is shot dead, the case should fall into her hands taking her away from the domestic violence cases that she is always given, but her DCI decides to make her share it with another Detective her friend Robbo, but when more bodies keep turning up this case escalates making it a huge investigation.
The victims are all men and all shot in the same way there has to be a link and Em is feeling that somehow it is linked to the abuse of woman and children and her feelings are warranted when a manifesto appears on line published by a group calling themselves The Daughters of Eve and things start heating up in the bunker.
Hart has some issues from her past that never leave her and she is the adopted mother of two girls Rose and Grace whom have been through hell in their younger years, so supporting abused woman and children is something that she cares deeply about but she is also an officer of the law and finding the perpetrator is a must. The streets of Sydney are hit with panic and the killings keep going but Em and Robbo seem to be closing in and the things they are discovering will shock.
I highly recommend this book fabulously written with care and a lot of heart, Em is such a strong person she will stand up for anyone who needs help and herself, working in a male world is hard but she never gives in, truly you must read this book and I can’t wait for more books from Nina Campbell, huge congrats on such a brilliant debut.
My thanks to Allen & Unwin for my copy to read and review.
