‘The Toybox’ is a crime thriller by Charly Cox. It follows on from the first book featuring Alyssa Wyatt, ‘All His Pretty Girls’. The Toybox can be read as a standalone due to the background Charly gives us.

The story is set in Albuquerque. New Mexico. Alyssa and Cord Roberts, her partner, are attempting to find links between several missing young women, without success. The next girl to go missing makes it personal for Alyssa as it is her daughters best friend. This sends them in a race against time to track the perpetrators before anyone else is taken.

An action-packed crime thriller, with a main character that is so feisty but also compassionate with it. She is always attempting to balance both work and personal life which is a fight in itself. The subject matter can be hard reading as the book deals with human trafficking but it is dealt with in the right manner. So happy Sarah Hardy asked me to be a part of the Hera books blog tour for The Toybox and thanks to Netgalley and Hera books for the ARC.
