Once You Go This Far (Roxane Weary, Bk. 4)

Fourth novel in the acclaimed Roxane Weary crime series.

Written by Kristen Lepionka, praised for her modern, hard-boiled take on the private investigator genre.

Noted for its sharp characterisation, emotional depth, and contemporary noir tone.

Private investigator Roxane Weary is back, and this time the case is closer to home than ever. When a young woman disappears under troubling circumstances, Roxane is drawn into an investigation that exposes buried secrets, complicated relationships, and the lasting consequences of past choices.

As the search intensifies, Roxane must navigate unreliable witnesses, personal entanglements, and her own moral boundaries. The deeper she goes, the clearer it becomes that some truths come at a high cost — and that once you cross certain lines, there’s no turning back.

Dark, gripping, and emotionally resonant, Once You Go This Far continues Roxane Weary’s journey as a fiercely human detective confronting both crime and herself.
