Out of Bounds
ByPublisher Description
When a teenage joyrider crashes a stolen car and ends up in a coma, a routine DNA test reveals a connection to an unsolved murder from twenty-two years before. Finding the answer to the cold case should be straightforward. But it's as twisted as the DNA helix itself.
Meanwhile, Inspector Karen Pirie finds herself irresistibly drawn to another mystery that she has no business investigating, a mystery that has its roots in a terrorist bombing two decades ago. And again, she finds that nothing is as it seems.
From a Diamond Dagger Award-winning author,
is a riveting cold case novel starring detective Karen Pirie, who's been described by the Associated Press as "a formidable character worthy of her own series."
"I would like to see a great deal more of DCI Pirie." —

“Out of Bounds was okay but very slow-paced. It fits into the detective fiction and police procedural genre, where the focus is on method rather than momentum. I liked Detective Karen as a character, and the story itself was unique, but the pacing made it feel more like an “airport read” just something to pass the time rather than a story that pulls you in. It lacked the high stakes and intensity I’ve come to expect from mysteries, which is why it gets three stars from me.”

“Indulging, to-the-point, and entertaining. I loved the way Karen’s character has been written. Also loved the political atmosphere Val managed to create within the book. Absolutely enjoyed it.”

“Good start and kept me on the edge of the seat, but the ending was not satisfactory”
