A huge thank you to Canelo and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book which I have been eagerly awaiting, having read the previous three books in the series. I started reading it immediately and was straight back in the world of DI Clare MacKay, just like visiting an old friend. If gripping crime / police procedurals are your thing you will love this series.

A fantastic opening chapter which grabbed me immediately and the pace of the book kept my interest right to the last page.

A girl is found dead in her bath. She has light bruising on her neck but it does not look like she has been strangled. DI MacKay is called to investigate. Another body of a girl is found in a small river. Could the deaths be related? Is there a serial killer out there?

The investigation takes Clare down many avenues including an online dating app and to a possible connection with a school reunion.

Just when you think you know where the investigation is going it takes another turn to keep you on your toes!

Clare is also at a bit of a crossroads in her personal life as her fairly new partner has moved to Boston and she is considering ending their relationship. Could a dating app be her way of finding Mr Right? Or is there a possibility of a relationship with a work colleague which almost happened before she chose her current partner?

Very highly recommended and a well deserved 5 out of 5 stars.
