Sub-Rosa

By: Charlotte Mills

Narrated by: Sophie Hunter Scott

A gripping British lesbian murder mystery that asks what price we are prepared to pay to find out the truth.

Outcast Ashley Spencer is in her second career as a rookie police constable in Cambridgeshire when she is rammed off the road one terrifying night.

Forced to rescue her is undercover detective Darren "Mac" Mackenna, who claims to be a passing carpenter. A lifelong loner, Mac is leery of all relationships, and has been preoccupied with finding out how a close friend and colleague died.

Impressed and grateful, Ashley uses her skills to track down her anonymous hero. An unlikely friendship forms between the opposite women.

Still, Mac is suspicious: Can Ashley be trusted, or is she really part of a corrupt network of cops Mac is trying to expose? Should she trust her head or her heart to find the truth?

Contains mature themes.

Wish it were longer

This book needed to be longer. The story was great but too short to really get a relationship established between the MCs. Felt rushed. I still really enjoyed it anyways and hope that there are more books with these two in it. Has some nice spicy scenes.
