The First One to Die: An unputdownable crime thriller (Detectives King and Lane Book 2)

The second book in the King and Lane series by Victoria Jenkins.I have enjoyed and devoured both books that I've read so far, and very much look forward to continuing with the series.The first one to die was a real page turner and a very clever twist.Highly recommend

This book was fantastic gripping and hard to put down

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for the ARC of The First One to Die by Victoria Jenkins. What a fab follow up to The Girls in the Water. P.s how stunning is that cover!! 😍😍
The story follows four house mates sharing a flat, one turns up dead - did she fall or was she pushed off the balcony? What follows is a brilliant story with twists and turns that keep you hooked! The ending was fabulous!!
I love Victoria Jenkins, her writing style is enthralling and her short snappy chapters keep you on the edge of your seat wanting more! I look forward to the future of King & Lane!!

I started this book immediately after I’d finished book in this series . (The Girls in the Water ). Having loved the first book I was slightly nervous that this one wouldn’t live up to my expectations. Well how wrong was I ! This was another gripping crime thriller involving DI King and DC Lane . These two officers work so well together and I love the way their personal lives develop in this book.I am eagerly awaiting book 3 in this brilliant series .

Found the beginning a little slow , however as I read further on l couldn't put the book down . Ending a bit disappointing but maybe a particular character will return in another book.

If you are a crime genre fan, you will enjoy this engaging second novel from Victoria Jenkins. In “The First One To Die” she demonstrates that she is able to spin a fine yarn, while further developing her main characters, Detectives King and Lane, both through and independently of a plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat from first to last paragraph. Very deft, very assured, very accessible, and immensely promising as a future contender for “Queen of Crime”.

I liked the book as it kept you guessing who is the killer right till the end. Very good and can't wait for next one

Lots of twists in this crime novel and a story line that could happen so all the more a gripping read
