This is the 13th book in the Geraldine Steel series and I can't believe that it's only the first one I've read!

The book opens strongly with a person attempting their first murder on a homeless person. The story then flits between DS Geraldine Steel who is investigating murders of homeless people and Ann who is married to David, 20+ years her senior. She is also having an affair with a music teacher named Mark. The two stories tie well together and I was convinced that I knew how it was all going to pan out. It kept me gripped and I liked reading about the personal life of Steel too.

Although it is part of a series, it was easy to follow along as a standalone and I didn't feel confused with anything. The ending was great and left me wanting more so I will definitely be reading the rest of the series both previous books and any that come after this one.
