A Soul for a Soul (Detective Kate Young Book 5)

Product Information

He relationship with Morgan is under strain and she really wants to make a good impression on her first case in charge. These mitzvot are like seeds which take root in the soil of the physical world and grow and multiply, further fueling the soul's ascent; as do the good deeds performed in the physical world by others for the merit of the departed soul. Kate remains haunted by the past, the trauma of the situation with Superintendent John Dickson and her dangerous quest to unmasked the corrupt syndicate.

My thanks to Zooloo’s Book Tours, NetGalley and Thomas Mercer for a copy in exchange for my honest review. What's not only possible but definite is that we are being given the opportunity to heal, learn, and grow because of the relationship. If the G-dly soul is enclosed within the rest, why is it not sufficient to say a b’racha only in our ‘mind’? Souls were created at the Big Bang and many are waiting to incarnated here on Earth to experience and learn. We’re no longer in a state of suffering – or at least, we aren’t as strongly identified with the thoughts attachments associated with it – instead, we find a Home in the present moment.Desperate to measure up to her role-model boss, Emma finds herself hurled into the deep end in more ways than one… While Kate’s grip on reality wavers and the syndicate closes in, and with the mystery killer taking a special interest in Emma, could this be the case that defeats both detectives?

Book four ended with a shocking death and a huge cliffhanger that threatened Kate’s freedom, and this one picks right after, with Kate at her breaking point under the weight of all her past actions. I enjoy following Emma and Morgan, Emma goes the extra mile in her new role with Morgan submerged in his difficult inquiry where it’s difficult to get a break. I love the line in the book about "curtain twitchers," those lookie-loos that watch a crime scene from their home. Those that experience this will often resort to the most extreme measures to feel something, anything – and when they do feel something, like lust for someone, it may possess them so completely that they become like a demon: unable to feel or see anything but that emotion.DCI Kate Young never meant to shoot Superintendent John Dickson at the reservoir that night―even if, as a scheming corrupt cop and head of the shady syndicate, he probably had it coming.
