I've always enjoyed Ed James books the original Scott Cullen books set in Edinburgh and now this London based Fenchurch series - and this one is no exception.
In for the Kill features Simon Fenchurch, and the story continues the story of Simon's private life as well as featuring the murder of a student in her halls of residence. Well written books set in London, this one didn't disappoint, it's full of action and grabs you very quickly. Looking forward to the next in the series

It’s always a pleasure to sit down with an Ed James book, because I know it will be a deftly plotted, action packed thrill ride and In For the Kill lived up to the hype. Fenchurch has a lot on his plate at the moment, with dealing with the aftermath of finding Chloe, his long ago abducted daughter, his wife nearing the birth of their second child, and a the terrifying case of a college co-ed found murdered in her bed at the same university Chloe attends.

This was a great read, I loved the thrilling fast paced chase through London solving this complex crime. There were one or two points where the pace slowed a bit, but not by much and there was a lot of action to keep my pulse racing and the tense atmosphere kept me turning pages, impatient to see the next bombshell. Although I missed a few books in the series since I read the first book, I was able to get right back into it. Thanks to the great character development and the consistency of the writing, I remembered many of the principal characters, making me feel like I was catching up with people I hadn’t seen in a while. Fenchurch is developing as the sort of hangdog character you can’t help but root for; intense, persistent, stubborn, and fallible, there’s a little Fenchurch in everyone I think. I enjoy watching him methodically pick at the threads of the crime until it all unravels alongside coping with the struggles in his personal life.

Overall, a great read with a fascinating case full of twists and turns to keep me guessing. Definitely recommend for fans of dark and gritty police procedurals.

I have read all of Ed James's books, spreading over four different characters, and this is hands down the best book so far out of all of them. The story really builds up and ends in a fantastic conclusion (although I did guess the main reveal early on) Another heartbreaking cliffhanger (Ed James is partial to one of these) Eagerly looking forward to the next one.
