I enjoyed this story of crime in south London. The storyline was tense and motored along at a good pace.

The only slight downside for me was the twist at the end: I would have preferred to have had at least a half-idea of who did it rather than completely out of the blue.

Overall a great read!

What an amazing book. This book left me hanging at the end
The way the author wrote this book and increased the tension was so good. It was impossible to predict the ending. A great thriller

I seemed to have missed out three books in this series somehow, which I’m proper gutted about, but the great thing is is that they can be read as a stand-alone. Though there are some background characteristics that can be a little confusing without the previous books.

Now, I’ve read book one in this series and I gave it 4 stars as is it was fantastic and I remember struggling to put it down. But with this one? I don’t know, something was missing. Also, there was two separate stories running throughout this book and they didn’t clang together and that really put me off. A crime-thriller story, needs one BIG storyline with a ‘whodunnit’ vibe. But this didn’t. It just seemed to be a story that led to the suspects and that was it and it was really disappointing! I can’t really say what I want to say without giving the game away but the ‘big reveal’ wasn’t great. I like their to be characters that
You can point at and say maybe or they did it. You don’t get that with this. Also, this author loves the word ‘discomforture’ or whatever it is instead of just discomfort.

On the other hand, the storyline(S) were great, well described and it easily flowed into each scene. The characters were well thought out and portrayed, descriptive and edgy.

Great read. Well written. Just a bit of a let down ending which knocked the star down for me

Thomas Houghton knows he is failing; at being a father, at putting a roof over his daughter's head, at life itself, but then something earth shattering happens and he knows everything is about to get so much better even if he has to break the law to get what he wants.

Charlie Stafford is a detective constable assigned to a help solve a spate of burglaries where the victims are all elderly. When their thief suddenly ups the ante she and her team realise just how little they have to go on. As the two cases seem to move closer together the officers involved are pulled in various directions, their only hope being that they can straighten everything out in time for a successful resolution in all instances.

The tension in this story was gradually increased, then there was a little downtime before it was heightened once again. Told from various viewpoints all aspects of each part of the puzzle was explored and eventually explained. I was convinced I had the burglar totally worked out, I was completely wrong.

I enjoyed the story very much; there was an originality about it that kept my interest and made me want to keep reading. Ms Flint was able to show how circumstance and conditions can decide a future just as much for the bad as the good and she didn't shy away from showing compassion towards the perpetrators as well as the victims in her storyline.

I was able to read an advanced copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and the publishers in exchange for an unbiased review and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys this author's work or wants a good whodunnit with no spoilers to previous books in the series.

Set in and around London,someone is preying on the elderly.Full of diverse characters and lots of twists.

Another well written, fast paced instalment in this well established series. Team Charlie have not one but two difficult cases to solve and time is very much against them. The title is somewhat misleading, I don't feel it relates to the plot in any way.

I really enjoyed this book, it gets you straight into it with interesting different characters. You are given just enough background on them to get to know them and become invested.
A great story and can’t wait to read more x

Sarah Flint just gets better and better with each book. Daddy’s Girls had a great storyline and great characters who are evolving with each book. I really love Charlie and hope she finds happiness one day.

I thoroughly enjoyed this and read it quickly. I’ve read all of the DC Charlie Stafford books and I love them. This one is about a killer who is targeting elderly people in their own homes. I found this story really eventful and did not have a clue who was the culprit! Would highly recommend to anyone.

In my opinion, this is one series where books can be read as stand alone as there is just enough information on the characters backgrounds. I really enjoyed this particular book where the team are racing against time to find not one but two perpetrators who have similar M.O.'s but with different outcomes. I found it gripping and can highly recommend.

This was my first book I have read by Sarah Flint. I enjoyed the book very much. It was a intense thriller, lots of twist and turns, and what the hecks throughout the whole book. Great characters and nonstop action, the plot flowed smoothly through the whole read. A very easy read, addictive, I stayed up late into the night reading.
I look forward to reading more books by Sarah Flint.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the advanced copy.

Wow, this is another fantastic riveting read from Sarah Flint.....

When the elderly are targeted in horrific and frightening attacks, it is left to Charlie Stafford and the team to find the attacker before he strikes again, but when a young women is attacked the team are not sure if this is the same attacker or another on the loose

Highly recommended read and cannot wait for the next in the series

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. Book 5 of DC Charlotte Stafford and this is just as good as the 4 before. Gripping from start to finish.

Really great thriller, which will leave you guessing throughout. Well thought out and well written, brilliant ending......can't wait for the next book Sarah, 5*

I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review.

A great police procedural that had you guessing to the very end.

DC Charlie and team are called in when an elderly woman is found dead. As they investigate they realize this death is connected to a string of burglaries targeting older people.

Charlie and her team try to solve this case fast now that it ends in murder suddenly the perpetrator change it's pattern by attacking and raping a young woman.

I didn't know there were more then one book in this series but you can read this as as a stand alone.

I like the character of Charlie you can tell she driven and cares even though she has a lot going on.

Great book will be reading other books by this author.
Will also recommend this book to others.
Great read! 5*****

Really enjoyable thriller, a fantastic whodunnit, police procedural, which will leave you guessing throughout. Well thought out and well written, but that ending...... Hurry up with the next installment Sarah, Please!!!

Gritty inparts sad but compelling. A lovely story with a darker side. I hope we hear more about the police officer as it seems she has a lot going on.

This was really a good book! I wasn’t aware there were other books prior to this one. I found it very enjoyable and it could be a stand-alone novel. I really like the writing and I will for sure be checking out other books in the series by this author.

This series just gets better and better.

DC Charlie Stafford is part of a team led by DI Geoffrey Hunter. Their team is called in when an elderly woman is found dead by her neighbour. This death is immediately linked to a string of burglaries that have only taken place at old people’s private houses. The MO is always the same, the perpetrator cuts the phone line, enters and only steals objects that have sentimental meaning to the victim.

The team realise that they must find the perpetrator fast now that a murder has taken place.

Maryanne Hepworth is attacked and raped in her home. Her phone line is cut. At first, it's suspected that it's the same perpetrator, but why has he changed his pattern? Why suddenly a much younger person?

Charlie, Hunter, Paul, Bet, Naz and Sabira make a brilliant cohesive team working within the Metropolitan Police from their headquarters at Lambeth. These cases are going to test their dedication and individual talents they each bring to the squad to the limits.

Sarah Flint writes with authority on police procedures. The team of which Charlie is our main protagonist, feel real. Especially Charlie. She’s a compassionate policewoman, who has a complicated family life and in this novel, if like me, you’ve followed her from the beginning, had me feeling her pain when PTSD once again becomes an issue for Ben.

The ending? Sarah Flint, how could you do this to me? I’m going to be on pins and needles until the next book!
