Amazon Synopsis:
The killer won’t come
for you, you fool. He’ll come for me.
Detective
Mort Grant of the Seattle PD has finally decided to sell. The home where he and
his late wife raised two kids feels too large and too full of old memories. His
son is married and raising a family of his own, and despite desperate efforts
to find her, Mort has lost touch with his wayward daughter. That is, until the
day she walks back into her childhood home and begs for his help.
For
the last four years, Allie Grant has been the lover—and confidante, confessor,
and counselor—of one of the world’s most powerful and deadly men. But a sudden,
rash move
has put Allie in the crosshairs of a ruthless Russian crime lord.
Mort knows of only one place where Allie will be safe: with The Fixer.
As a
hired desperado, The Fixer has killed twenty-three people—and Mort was
complicit in her escape from the law. She has built an impregnable house,
stocked it with state-of-the-art gear, armed it to the teeth, and locked
herself away from the world. But even The Fixer may not be able to get justice
for Allie when real evil comes knocking.

My Thoughts:
For 4 years Mort Grant’s daughter has been incommunicado
with her family and friends. No one knows where she is or what she is doing. Then
one day she shows up on her father’s doorstep begging for his help.
Allie has found herself on the run from one of the world
deadliest drug leaders, the Russian crime lord, Tokarev. There’s only one safe place Mort can hide her
away from the authorities – with The Fixer. But can even The Fixer get justice
for Allie?
This exciting novel captures the reader from the first page.
The book assumes that you know who the main characters are so it’s best if you
have read the previous two books first.
The Unforgiveable Fix
continues to expand on the main characters of Mort and Lydia and introduces us
to Mort’s daughter Allie. Lydia reopens her psychologist practice and Mort
sells and moves from his long-time home that he shared with his now-deceased
wife and grown children.
The pain that Lydia feels because of her past growing up
years and the harm she has done others is very palpable and in some ways ironic
as that is what she does for a living – help people to deal with those kinds of
feelings about themselves, yet she cannot help herself to deal with those
feelings about herself.
There are some excellent twists and turns in this novel that
will keep you guessing right to the end. Expect to want to stay up to finish
the book. I gave this book 5 stars out of 5.
Thank you to the publishers via NetGalley for providing a
copy of the book in exchange for a fair and honest review. A positive opinion
was not required. All thoughts were my own.
