About this eBook

After barely surviving the attempt on her life, up and coming attorney Kay Havelin prepares for the most important murder trial of her career. Her client is accused of brutally murdering his wife, and more women are coming forward, alleging other sadistic crimes. Win or lose, Kay plans to come out on top, but she'll have to play a dangerous game to do so.

Officer Reese Milo's investigation of Kay's client is making progress, but he's more suspicious of Kay than her client. Milo starts looking into her shady activities, but his boss makes it clear Kay Havelin is off limits. Going against his orders, he'll have to risk the job he loves if he wants to find the truth and bring the guilty to justice.

Ratings and reviews

Brutal intent to lead the reader Kay, a new lawyer, is working to build her client’s case, while Reese, a detective turned crime scene investigator, is starting to build his case against her client after the events in Intent. As the story progresses the tide turns, the cookie crumbles, and one bird in hand is definitely turning out easier than trying to get the two left in the bush. W.L. Knightly has an almost brutal intent to lead the reader further down the trail in Brutal. The shadows of doubt has been lifted, but getting the proof needed may be hard when the road blocks keep piling up. I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

Secrets, plot twists, deceptions, misdirections, and double-crosses. This book has everything that makes for an amazing mystery. And just when I think I’ve got a handle on where this series is going, the authors have to go and yank the rug out from under me. Again. I already feel like my mind is leaking out of my ears from all the things that have blown my perceptions sky high. I can’t even begin to guess where this will take us next. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.

This continues with Kay waking up in an ambulance with an oxygen mask on. Officer Milo is still on the Davenport case and trying to figure out what the case file Eddleman had to do with anything. More things are revealed, an unexpected death and the plot thickens. The mystery and suspense takes us on a thrilling ride winding through twists and turns with a surprise cliffhanger.
