Another good story featuring Helen Grace. Would make a great tv series. Easy to pick up and fly through the chapters. Plenty of suspense and twists in the plot. Worth reading if you like this sort of police/crime fiction.

From the first page it had me hooked and once the first two chapters were gone I couldn't put it down. If you are looking for a gruesome and gripping story of a unlikely antagonist you looked in the right place. This is a must for any crime and thriller enthusiasts
