Homeless men are being killed on the streets and yet some of the people investigating seem to think that because they were homeless their lives don't matter as much? Wanting to dig into this further, Geraldine Steel and her partner, Ian Peterson, are sent off on their trail. Turns out one of the homeless men found was not homeless after all, and in fact a music teacher. A music teacher of which we have just been reading about in a subplot, that was having an affair with a married woman. And so begins the real plot and the search to uncover the truth. Have they got a serial killer on their hands who has made a mistake, or does this murder go much deeper?

This is an established series of which I have not read any of the previous books, an although I couldn't quite call it a standalone, the backstory was easily explained and I quickly fell in step with the story. It was a bit convoluted at times, with so many story lines all blending together, and then several twists and turns later all became clear, but with quite a sudden ending. Overall it was an entertaining, complex read told though multiple points of view, which made me search for clues about the real killer as I read.

Thanks to #Netgalley, #OldcastleBooks and #LeighRusssell for the ARC of this book in return for an honest review. 3.5 stars.
