Summary
Some cases need more than the police....
Meet disgraced ex-DI Ellie Reckless, a self-proclaimed "cop for criminals", and the person the underworld calls when they can't call the police.
Working for favors, freely given at a time and place of her choosing, Ellie and her team of fallen angels work the cases the police never see—while Ellie builds enough favors to discover who in the force framed her for murder, who ordered it, and who really killed the man she loved.
And when Essex Gangster Danny Flynn comes to her with a case involving art forgeries, dead bodies, and a painting stolen during the 1990 Gardner Museum Heist in Boston, Ellie realizes this could be the favor that gives her everything she needs to clear her name.
As long as she, her team, and the client can survive until she solves it, that is....
The first book in a new series of procedural crime thrillers by number-one New York Times best-selling writer Tony Lee writing as Jack Gatland, and spinning out of his best-selling DI Declan Walsh book series, Paint the Dead is perfect for fans of J.D Kirk, L.J Ross, Ian Rankin, Alex Smith, David Gatward, Rachel McLean, and Ann Cleeves, among others.

Not sure…..
….about this one. I like the idea, but found some of the plot unbelievable. Liked the idea of referencing other characters by the same author, but was disappointed regarding some references to London landmarks. Battersea Bridge is in Battersea in London not The City of London.
Also was not a fan of the reader. Can’t quite put my finger on it but she didn’t sound like the character to me.

Brilliant
Grabbed me from the first sentence. Great story expertly interwoven within a wired and wonderful set of characters. I only found Jack gatland recently initially for his DCI Declan Walsh series (another winner) and found his Ellie reckless series - not your normal heroine but quirky, brave and full of sass. And the narration was brilliantly done by Gill. I’m hooked now to buy Book 2 .
