Feed My Reads recommended in 2022 - day 88

Day 88  of Feed My Reads recommended in 2022 sees us revisit a book that was unexpected but brilliant, Bounty (Jill Anderson series book 1) by J.D. Cunegan.  This book is one which is well worth checking out and highly recommended.

Jill Andersen is one of Baltimore's best and brightest detectives, but she harbors a dark secret -- a secret that threatens to come out when the body of Dr. Trent Roberts is pulled out of the Chesapeake Bay. Dr. Roberts' connection to Jill reveals a past that involves a tour in Iraq, a secretive cybernetic experiment, and a conspiracy that involves a native son.

Can Jill solve the case while still keeping her secret? Will her partners at the Seventh Precinct find out what she's so desperate to hide? What was Dr. Roberts looking into that led to his murder? And perhaps the biggest question of all...

Who is Bounty?

Review:

With her father sat on death row and counting down the days until his execution, Jill Anderson continues to work her job on the police force while trying to figure out a way to prove his innocence and set him free but Jill has a secret.  In her life before the police Jill was in the army and took part in a top secret project where machine and human were fused but can this help her in her pursuit of justice or could this end up being something that makes her a target herself?

This is a well written book that has sci-fi at the core but yet feels in many ways like a crime novel and so this treading of the two worlds is something I have not really come across before but found a really interesting style in what can sometimes be a genre that is about being as "out there" as possible.

The author has put together a fine story here that sets things up for much more to come and the only slight mark down is a few editing issues.  I have already got the second book in my to be read pile and so that tells you that this is worth checking out.
