Publisher's summary

Nobody can get into the mind of an erratic killer - except an unpredictable detective.

When a young man is found lying on a station platform with a hole in his head, DI Kate Young is called in to investigate the grisly murder. But the killing is no one-off. As bodies start to pile up, she is faced with what might be an impossible task - to hunt down a ruthless killer on a seemingly random rampage.

Meanwhile, Kate has her own demons to battle as she struggles to come to terms with her husband’s death. And she is hell-bent on exposing corruption within the force and bringing Superintendent John Dickson to justice. But with the trail of deception running deeper - and closer to home - than she could ever have imagined, she no longer knows who she can trust.

With her grip on reality slipping, Kate realises that maybe she and the killer are not so different after all. But time is running out and Kate is low on options. Can she catch the killer before she loses everything?

#3

Questions abound even though any are answered, many remain.
A more leisurely pace than the previous books ,yet still enjoyable.

Will Kate Find Closure?

Mental health issues following a traumatic incident play a critical aspect of this story. While closure may have been found, this story line is getting tedious.

Good story

Overall a good story with lots of twists and turns, including Kate’s personal vendetta against DCI Dickson. My only complaint is that Kate’s obsession w dead husband, Chris, became a bit trying. Glad that Dickson got his just desserts.

Difficult to finish

Although the story was worth it. Slow to start and Kate’s issues are a titch annoying. Narrator is clipped and a bit harsh.

Too insane for me

I have a hard time with someone who listens to voices and answers them being a cop. It is not realistic. I forced myself because these books were free. Free is not good in this situation.
