Then they had briefly discussed career progression within her team, outlining potential opportunities for Stacey in particular.
And it was with Stacey that her thoughts had stayed. There had been easier cases to look at in the shuffles, but Stacey had chosen the toughest, most complicated case, which spoke volumes about the woman and police officer she had become. She was about to embark on a new stage of her life with her marriage to Devon, about which she couldn’t now shut up since Penn had offered Jasper’s services to make them a wedding cake.
She had grown in both ability and confidence far beyond Kim’s expectations. There was no case they worked where Stacey didn’t impress her just that little bit more, she thought as the officer herself came into view on the car park.
Stacey had asked if she could bring in Lesley Skipton to meet with Chris, if both parties were agreeable. She had felt it would offer Lesley some closure, some understanding of why she had felt certain emotions in connection with her attack, maybe even give her the chance to move on.
All parties had agreed, and the meeting had just taken place.
Stacey had no idea that Kim was watching as she hugged Lesley and then put her into a waiting taxi.
Kim knew that Stacey had no idea how far she’d come in the years they’d worked together; she had grown drastically in her ability to feel empathy, her humanity, her willingness to go a step beyond. She was a police officer to her core, a bloody good one, and she didn’t even know it.
Woody knew it and she knew it, and as Kim watched the detective constable wave away the taxi, she knew it was time for things to change.

The idea for this book was sparked while writing one of the earlier novels where sibling rivalry was touched upon in relation to child genius. The thought stayed with me and grew as questions began to form. What are the long lasting effects of such rivalry that starts at an early age? What can prompt fierce competition between people who grow up together? How far and how deep can such rivalry go?
As with all my books the more I read about the subject the more intrigued I became with the psychology behind this
