Death In a Lonely Place by Stig Abell



Just a short distance from A Little Sky, where Jake Jackson resided, a five-year-old girl was kidnapped. The only trace left behind was a business card bearing the words NO TABOO. Chief Inspector Watson deduced that it was likely connected to a past case that Jake had investigated. NO TABOO denotes a group of crimes that have not been punished. Strangely, the girl was located safe and sound through an anonymous tip. 

Jake and Livia receive an invitation from Sam Martison, a notable billionaire, to a house party where they rub shoulders with wealthy and powerful guests known for their questionable reputation. Jake suspects they have ties to NO TABOO. Pretty much of a coincidences, huh?? The gathering like intentionally vague to me. Things were too exaggerated when they were getting ready to play a murder mystery game. The way the story was written was effective in creating a rich tapestry. I have a mixed love-hate reaction to this book as a result.

Thanks to @times.reads and @putrifariza for the review copy. My opinions are my own 💙
