Blog Tour - Never Be Broken by Sarah Hilary

Children are dying on London's streets. Frankie Reece, stabbed through the heart, outside a corner shop. Others recruited from care homes, picked up and exploited; passed like gifts between gangs. They are London's lost.

Then Raphaela Belsham is killed. She's thirteen years old, her father is a man of influence, from a smart part of town. And she's white. Suddenly, the establishment is taking notice.

DS Noah Jake is determined to handle Raphaela's case and Frankie's too. But he's facing his own turmoil, and it's becoming an obsession. DI Marnie Rome is worried, and she needs Noah on side. Because more children are disappearing, more are being killed by the day and the swelling tide of violence needs to be stemmed before it's too late.

NEVER BE BROKEN is a stunning, intelligent and gripping novel which explores how the act of witness alters us, and reveals what lies beneath the veneer of a glittering city.

Never Be Broken is Sarah Hilary's sixth instalment in her fantastic series featuring DI Marnie Rose. The series has won many prizes and awards and it just gets better and better as each new instalment is released and I am sure Never Be Broken will soon be winning awards too.

I really enjoyed Never Be Broken. It is a hard hitting  and fast paced and begins with a prologue that is both intriguing and worrying and draws the reader in straight away and keeps their attention throughout. 

I would recommend that this book is not read as a standalone as there are many threads within the story that relate to the previous title in the series. The storylines within the book are hard hitting and at times disturbing but the storyline that I found the most intriguing was that of DS Noah Jake and his mental health, a topic which is high priority at the moment and this is a great account of a professional  man's struggle with his own mental health.
