The Puppet Show (Washington Poe #1) by M.W. Craven ★★★★★

“This wasn’t about justice, Poe. It was never about justice.” 

ALL THE STARS!!!

You dark twisty bitch of a book! I love you! So many threads to neatly bring together, so much mystery and pain, to burn. 

This intriguing procedural grabbed me and didn’t let go. The pace was steady, smooth, and unrelenting. The budding outcast duo of Poe and Tilly was unmissable. 

The ending was a deeply satisfying level of Oh Hell Yes!
