Solid detective series with red herrings everywhere! So many suspects, so many theories, and so many questions - yet more murders as they spin their wheels and race the clock. Tense and engrossing, and you may think you guess it, but nope, no you didn't! A great read for mystery fans.

A brilliant read from start to finish. Detective Jack Macintosh investigates a spate of murders with possible links to historic cold cases some 20yrs back. A journalist receives tip offs from the killer but what is her connection to him? This is my first in this series and I’ll have to read them from the start! In particular because the supporting characters are so brilliant too and I’d love to get more into their back stories. Highly recommend this and huge thanks to the author & publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Get ready for a really dramatic read!
Detective Inspector Jack MacIntosh is back, he has a great team around him which is just as well.
Well written characters and a cracker of a storyline.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

DI Jack MacIntosh and his team are trying to catch a killer whose trademark is to leave a part of a London underground map in the mouth of his young and attractive female victims. Alternate chapters flash back to the killer’s childhood bullying, but if they were supposed to make me feel sympathetic, it didn’t work. I read a lot of British police procedurals, but I found this novel extremely disturbing; serial killers and sexual assault are topics I prefer to avoid in my leisure reading, and this one had more than one creepy murder described in grisly detail. If this isn’t a problem for you, this is a well written and suspenseful mystery. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC.

This book was completely unputdownable it reeled me in right from the very start. The twists left me speechless I did gasp out loud at the ending which I thought was brilliant!

Every chapter has a slap bang feeling to make your heart skip. The plot was interesting and kept me glued to my kindle! It was action-packed, suspenseful and intriguing!

I’d highly recommend this book if you like a tightly plotted, clever story with razor-sharp dialogue, characters that pop off the page and twists so chilling you’ll be reaching for a blanket to wrap yourself in, then this book is for you!!
