Deadly Alibi By Leigh Russell

This is my second book of Leigh's and wish I had found her books way before now. I love how she writes and how much they draw you into the book.

This is the Geraldine steel series and I'm on book nine in the series and to say I haven't read the first 8 books in the series I am picking up the story easy. I'm loving Geraldine and how she's handling finding out her real mum has died and that she had a twin sister who is actually the kind of person who Geraldine locks up for drugs and alcohol related crimes. But to actually cope finding out you was adopted and your twin was kept cos the doctors told her mum that the twin wouldn't live long and would die soon then to define the odds and is now an adult hellbent a druggie but she's still alive must be hard for Geraldine to get her head round but she's not letting it effect her work at all.

As well as trying to help her sister as much as she could and deal with grief she obviously was dealing with from losing her birth mum and trying to keep her family and job separate  she nearly ends up losing her job trying to help her sister and has to do a lot of thinking what would she do if she wasn't a detective but thanks to her colleagues and her friends she's managed to move on and start a new job still in the police force but means moving towns and that and still be there for Helena who is trying to change am glad how it ended was expecting it to end differently and more sadder but nope it was a nice ending can't wait to get into the rest of Geraldine Steele books now
