In this new-to-me series, Ingrid has just given birth to her and Patrick's fifth child (counting the adopted niece and nephew) when Patrick is whisked away undercover to try to flush a dangerous woman criminal out into the open. Ingrid is counting the weeks Patrick is away, while also marking the renovations to a rectory that they have bought as a residence for their growing family, and handling her "baby blues."
Ingrid and Patrick have seen their share of action, having been partners in the British intelligence agency MI5. Patrick moved to the supposedly less dangerous Serious Organized Crime Agency (SOSA) to spend more time with his family. Ingrid is a novelist who consults on criminal matters for SOSA as well.
While Patrick is away, Ingrid finds the dead body of a not-well-liked member of her father-in-law's congregation. She's trying to help the local law enforcement officials investigate that murder when she learns that Patrick was drugged and implicated in a mass murder in London, which includes the woman he was to find. It looks really bad for Patrick, physically and career-wise. He continues to suffer from memory issues due to the drugs used on him.
This is a fast-paced book that incorporates the relationship of the couple, their children, and the various law enforcement units, while it also keeps one guessing about what really happened at the murder scenes.
