A few weeks ago I was introduced to a brand new author who had written an amazing police procedural book that just blew me away. I was so excited to be able to review that story.
Testarossa was an amazing read because of the main character, John. He’s vulnerable, tough, in love, and he has big secrets.
Today I am excited to share with you the second book in the series that I am so, so thankful I did not have to wait months or years for the release. And yes, I am still in love with John. Even more so!!!
Read on for my full review.
4 Days by JD Cary
Publisher: Bowker (September 20, 2019)
ISBN-13: 978-1732578548
ABOUT:
The body of a young woman is found in the marshes of L.A.’s Ballona Creek. As with most murders Detectives John Testarossa and Alex Ortiz are asked to solve, this one makes no sense.
When a second body is found, and then a third, the only thing the young victims have in common is that, as children, each went missing for four nightmarish days.
And then they were released. Alive.
As more dead women turn up, the detectives must navigate some of the city’s darkest history while racing to save the next potential victim and get into the mind of a killer who keeps coming back for more.
As the truth comes together, Testarossa collides with an evil like he has never known and risks losing all he holds dear in the process, including the one woman he can’t seem to forget.
4 Days by JD Cary Review
4 Days is a perfect sequel to the story that started the series. What’s special about this book is the fact that the author takes the time to fully develop John Testarossa into a character that we would love to know, be around, and even fall for.
He and his partner have a fabulous working relationship. John’s funny, jaded, kind, and a real soft touch inside of a big burly bear. And he’s definitely a man in love.
I’m excited to see Karen back in the story. She is the perfect offset to him. I love their conversations and deep understanding of each other. Plus, his alpha maleness is just right.
The author crafted an amazing story that is rich in detail, depicting horrific crimes, and yet instills the faith that John can somehow make it better.
The story is loaded with suspense and graphic detail in spots that will make you cringe but it adds so much to the realistic detail that our police officers see on a daily basis.
4 Days is a completely unique story that is richly deserving of all of the accolades the Testarossa series will receive. It is a perfect sequel that enhances the original story so much more and is certainly not to be missed.
JD Cary is an amazing author that is simply perfecting her craft with every book she releases. 4 Days had me blocking out my world and diving into John’s world. Mmmm… I could easily stick around in his alpha world.
Run, don’t walk, to grab this romantic suspense that is a fierce balance of everything we love in our police crime novels.
