No Time to Cry

Anyone who follows my reviews will know by now that I love James Oswald's Inspector Tony McLean series. Therefore it should come as no surprise that I decided to try the Constance Fairchild series for size. So, what did you think of the first book in the series, I hear you cry?! Well, gather ‘round good people, and I will tell you.
I loved, loved, loved it. Constance, or Con (but never Connie) Fairchild, is my new favourite heroine. She comes from a background of wealth and privilege; she's actually Lady Constance Fairchild. She's sassy, she has a smart mouth, she's tenacious, and she's exceptionally brave. She became a police officer to annoy her father, sticking two fingers up to her upper class roots.

No Time To Cry sees her become a scapegoat when an undercover operation she was working on goes very wrong. Suspended from her job, and treated like a pariah by her colleagues, Con soon finds herself looking into the disappearance of a young woman. This is when things take a sinister turn for the worst.

Like all of Oswald's books, the subject matter of No Time To Cry is dark and disturbing, but thankfully there's no graphic detail.

No Time To Cry was the perfect introduction to Con. I look forward to meeting her again, soon.
