I read the three books in the series a few months ago. I was previously hooked by each one and keen to read The Promise as soon as possible (even though I. have pre-ordered it in paperback).
The Promise works well as a stand alone, as do The Teacher, The Secret, and The Angel. Katerina Diamond reitterates enough from previous books to remind readers, or orientate a new reader.
So, having read the others I had high expectations. I was not disappointed, not at all. In fact I woud say that The Promise is Katerina Diamond's best so far.
The complexity of three stories gradually unravelling was expertly written. Each shift was easy to follow and executed perfectly.
The over all plot is A1 with twists and revelations that held my attention throughout the two sittings I took to read.
My only thought now is that I will need to wait for Katerina Diamond's next book.

The Promise is told through three alternating stories. I haven’t read a book that had such different story lines occurring at the same time with family drama unfolding alongside a police murder investigation and a victim retelling their experience of abuse. I really enjoyed this element, and stayed up late to finish this book. I did not realize that the police characters in this book are featured in Katerina Diamond’s other books because this is the first book I’ve read of hers. This book worked well as a stand-alone, although I plan to read her other books now to learn about the character’s backstories, and because I imagine they’ll be enthralling reads like The Promise was.

I received an ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Oh My God - This book did not fail and was just as gripping as the others in the series. Fab twists and turns and excellent writing as also. You never disappoint. Loved it x

“Tonight was the night…”

Exeter is not as peaceful and safe as it seems. A murderer is in town!
Someone, who hunts women, rapes and strangles them in their homes. All these women have just one thing in common. Would the detectives Adrian Miles and Imogen Grey be able to find the connection and stop this psychopath?
This was my first book from Katerina Diamond and I loved it! The story drew me in from the start and didn’t let go till the end. It was well-written and the characters were well-defined. There was no occasion to be bored or roll the eyes.
Besides, the book deserves more starts for its refreshing and rather creepy cover!

Thanks to the author, Avon Books UK and the NetGalley for providing me with a copy.

I was given in advance readers copy in exchange for an honest review.

I really loved this one – by now the detectives have defined personalities and the characters are just interesting as the plot. This was an enjoyable thriller .with good twists and a decent amount of suspense, This one was also better written with less gratuitous violence than the previous books. She's really coming along with as a writer and I look forward to the next one
