Yet another brilliant book by Katerina Diamond. Couldn't put it down, I was still reading at 5am. I can't recommend  this book enough story is great. Can't wait for more from this author.

I received an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review 

Not my favorite in this series- the characters’ quirks and the plot twists are not as fresh and we need a little more pizazz for this to be a four or even a three point five rounded up. Proper three point two five rounded down 🙅🏻‍♀️

Katerina Diamond is one of my favourite authors and I was delighted to get a copy of her new book Truth Or Die, the fifth book featuring DS Imogen Grey & DS Adrian Miles.
A professor and been found brutally murdered at the university and several students have died in mysterious accidents. Imogen and Adrian are sent to investigate.
This book had me hooked from the first page. Another excellent thriller from this author. I can't wait for her next book.
Thank you NetGalley and Avon Books UK for my e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

I read this as a stand-alone, not realizing it was part of a series until I was a few pages into the book.  I found it to be a fast paced and easy read the had all of the elements of a really good procedural story.  A criminal gang with an unseen mastermind, victims a plenty that were flipped to become part of the gang, gory crime scenes, a sense or urgency on the police to end the rampage...  yadda, yadda, yadda.  But I just didn't warm up to any of the characters.  They just weren't developed enough for me to be much interested in them.  Maybe if I had read the previous books that would be different.  Also, the new developments in the relationship between Grey and Miles detracted from the story and felt forced as well as a little juvenile.  I also found the ending was too forced and neat for my tastes.

DS Imogen Grey and partner DS Adrian Miles are investigating the murder of a university professor, a man who on the surface at least, has led a squeaky clean life. His students can’t (or won’t) provide any insight, but there’s mush at stake, as the killer has only just begun his grisly work
