If you like dark twisted and disturbing then this book is for you . Just completely amazing fast paced and gripping you can't ask for any more then that from a book .

I have to start off by saying WOW! Rob Ashman has excelled himself with This Little Piggy. This is the second in the series and we get to know a little more about Roz Kray and some of her team. Right from the start, this story leaves you wide eyed and gobsmacked at the depravity used on the victims. I love how Krays mind works to reveal the clues that no-one else sees. She is a force to be reckoned with and does not suffer fools - at all! I am now left wanting to read more in this series. This book is an intense and gritty crime thriller. It is gruesome, gory and downright sickening, I loved it!
I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

Oh My Goodness. This was one heck of a read for me. With a killer (see what I did there) first chapter which pretty much sets the tone for the rest of what follows, this book gripped me from the off and held me hostage until I had to put it down when life intruded and I had to go score a cricket match. Luckily, we trounced our opposition and I had an early finish. Getting straight back into it was an absolute relief and I read the last two thirds in just one sitting.
I said in my review for Faceless, the first in this series and well worth a read, that I had a bit of trouble initially connecting with Roz. In this, her second outing, we clicked right from the off with absolutely no sign of there even being a problem. I love the way that she works. Yes, she's still a bit gung ho, and has a different kind of respect for authority, but it works, and some of her "inner dialogue" just has me in stitches and made me love her all the more.
In this book she is on the case of a really rather nasty killer who inflicts all sorts of horrible things on his victims. Unlike most books, we know who he is from the off, there is no secret there, but the joy of the book is watching him commit his crimes and then follow as Roz and her team tries to piece it all together and figure out the who and why. We follow both Roz and the killer, Kevin, in alternating chapters with Kevin's also containing flashbacks to his past. Giving insight into how things escalated for him and made him what he is today.
With the killer known from the start, it must be hard to keep the reader interested. Obviously not everything can be taken quite at face value but the beauty of this book was that there was enough kept back to keep the intrigue level high enough for me to keep reading. It's hard to explain without giving stuff away but believe me, its the journey not the destination that was key for me in this book. And with a killer so brilliant as Kevin, it was a wild old ride. If I am allowed to be in awe of someone so heinous, then I admit it. He impressed me no end. But then on the other side, his careful plotting and planning was expertly unravelled by Roz who completely excelled herself with her insight and lateral thinking, dedicated and determined all the way, up until she hit a big brick wall in her investigation. To find out what happens next you'll just have to read the book but believe me, it's one great ending!
I'm not usually one for giving warnings about books but this one is particularly grisly. Luckily, as already mentioned, the tone is set in the first chapter so, if you are unsure of your comfort level, you would do well trying the sample first. Me, I'm hard core, the nastier the better. So hard core in fact, I'm having sausages for my tea tonight!
My thanks go to the Publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book.

Kevin Palmer is a normal, hardworking husband until the night of the Chamber of Commerce dinner when the bottom of his world falls out. He loses everything, first his wife and family, his home and finally his business. He can go no lower and finally spends time in jail.
When he is in prison he spends everyday, every working hour thinking how he can REVENGE on those who caused his downfall. One day he is taken out on day release to a farm and this is where he learns the method of his REVENGE. This is the second in the D I Kray series. I loved the first one but this book I devoured. From page one I was hooked, it was gory, full of blood and I loved it.
I would like to thank the author Rob Àshman, Bloodhound books and Net.galley for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for giving an honest review.

This book is interesting with lots of twists to it. You know a lot about the killer, but not all. Some you can guess, but it doesn't detract from the story. A good book, well worth reading

This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none.
This little piggy went ...
Wee, wee, wee,
all the way home!

This is one of the most diabolical serial killers out there. Kevin Palmer has lost his wife, children, his business, his money, and his reputation. Trying to fight what has happened to him, he winds up in prison where he plans elaborate plans to get back at the people who ruined him in one way or another.

DI Rosalind Kray is battling her own demons having returned to work following a brutal attack which left her stabbed multiple times. She was lucky.. she survived. Her husband did not. Her boss wonders if she's up to the task of investigating this particular twisted killer. But she's thorough and dedicated, if nothing else.

Kray has Palmer squarely in her sights. But he has other ideas … Can Kray stop him in time to save his last little piggy?

This is not for the faint of heart. If you have a hard time with the butchering of pigs, as well as copying those movements with humans, you may not want to read this. It's graphic, it's gruesome, it's grisly, it's ghastly.

The book is well written .. with alternating chapters told by the voices of Kray ... and the killer. The reader is treated to Kevin's backstory ... the things that put him here, today.

Many thanks to the author / Bloodhound Books / Netgalley for the advance digital copy of this crime thriller. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
