A child's life hangs in the balance . . .

When a prominent judge is found stabbed to death on Valentine's weekend in what appears to be a crime of passion, homicide detective Maggie Novak knows she has her work cut out for her.

Bobby Russell is everybody's favorite judge, and at first Maggie is hard-pressed to find anyone with anything bad to say about him, let alone someone harboring a hatred so deep that they will kill him over it. But as she peels back the layers of his life, and the eyewitness to his murder goes missing, Maggie is faced with the very real prospect that beneath the judge's perfect surface deadly undercurrents lurk.

To uncover the truth, Maggie must first expose the judge's darkest secret, one that reaches deep inside his private life and into the death of his daughter.

The race is on to find the star witness and to catch the killer. But will the scales of justice tip in Maggie's favor?

Intriguing Read

Reviewed in Australia on 1 August 2020

Once again a great read from Keith Houghton, Detective Maggie is a great lead character. The ending of this book was intriguing and surely sets up No 4 book to follow in this series.
Well written, had me in at the first page and just kept me turning those pages too quickly!
Highly recommend.

Good addition to the Maggie Novak series, enjoyed it very much! A couple of twists along the way I didn’t see coming, just what you want in a good book.

If you want page turners, Houghton is the author for you!

I don't write reviews as such, I'm not one with words but I know what I like, and Keith Houghton is up there with the best.
I came across Crash by accident, I think it was on special.....well, what a page turner, it almost left me breathless and I couldn't put it down until I'd finished it. I was hooked on Keith Houghton!!
His style is fast, unusual, and leaves you wanting more, and I devoured them as quickly as the next book was there.
Then came Don't Even Breath, that left me breathless.....that was my word, Keith had pinched my word to describe his first Maggie Novak book....what a cheek, but when we met Maggie Novak, that's just how she left us, so I decided not to sue, and to just enjoy.
I love Maggie's maverick character, along with her partner Loomis, you care about them and what happens to them......and plenty does. I can't wait to finish each book and get onto the next one, but when I finished The Other Child, last night, I realised that there isn't a next one.....at least, not yet. So, my only complaint about this brilliant writer, is that he doesn't write quickly enough!
I highly recommend Keith Houghton, the stand alones, and the series, and I suggest turning your phone off, because you will not want to be disturbed.....other than how Keith leaves you. Enjoy, I know you will. 😃

a good read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 June 2020

It's always interesting watching the lead character in a series developing before your eyes. Maggie Novak is growing in stature as a police officer, her handling of people she works with seems to improve, as people do in that kind of tight working environment. She demands much of her co-workers, especially in this book where the twists keep on coming as first a senior judge is horribly murdered and then a child goes missing...

If you're new to Maggie Novak's 'life', Iwould suggest you read books 1 and 2. If you, like me, have been waiting on the third book in the series, what can I say? Enjoy - be prepared for later nights and pre-order the 4th book so you don't miss it!

Another great read!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 July 2020

Verified Purchase

I read this book in two days as I just couldn't put it down! Good page turner, written about familiar characters, with a couple of new additions to the Novak team!
I was guessing that the killer was one of the other characters, how wrong was i? Never saw the twist at the end coming either. Can't wait for Maggie's next case, and to find out how she truly feels about her fiancé and if they will ever make it down the aisle!!!
Keep them coming Keith! x

Roll on the next book

Loved the third book in this series, I really like the authors writing and although each book can be read
As a stand alone story it is great following the ongoing saga, I feel like I know the characters personally
Each book has some great twists in the tale... keeps you turning the pages for hours and not wanting to put the book down
Roll on next April for the next book.
