I really enjoyed this book. This is the first Geraldine Steel book I've read and I wasn't confused or lost with her story so this works perfectly well as a standalone.

There are many different characters in this book, each with their own backstory. The characters are interwoven to connect them to the shocking murder of a homeless man in York. I really enjoyed the writing in this book; the way each of the characters were developed and the unfolding story of the murder. For a while it looked like the police just couldn't figure out this case which makes it more enjoyable because it's not immediately obvious where the plot is going.

An entertaining page-turner that I'd definitely recommend.

Thank you to NetGalley, Leigh Russell and Oldcastle Books for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.
