Winter in the Derbyshire Peaks: months of knee-deep snow, short days, and rocketing crime rates.
Detective Sanne Jensen is living in self-imposed isolation and quietly falling apart, while Dr. Meg Fielding, Sanne's best friend and occasional lover, is struggling to cope with her violent brother, who is back in town and demanding money that she doesn't have.
When the murder of a drug addict is dumped onto Sanne's already unmanageable caseload, she suspects the death may be the start of something more sinister. But how can she investigate a crime when no one cares about the victim? And how can she stop a killer who has no identity, no motive, and no conscience?

When I got started on this review, I had half a mind to simply write “Read this book. Drop everything and read this book”. I can tell you how brilliant it is, but like with E. J. Noyes’ books, for example, if I start listing everything I love, I’ll end up spoiling and it would be faster and way better to just read the book.
Anyhow. Sanne’s all out of sorts – no-spoiler rule so I’m not saying why – and her work is suffering. She’s on probation and can’t get Meg to comfort her. Being the awesome detective that she is, she makes connections between the case she and Nelson are working on and another one, and wind up looking for a serial killer. In the meantime, Meg’s violent brother is back in the picture and bad things happen. See, that’s me trying not to spoil. It makes for a boring review but trust me, read the book. You’ll be happy I didn’t reveal too much, it’s so cleverly done (the book, not my not-revealing-too-much).
Both storylines – the police procedural on one hand, the Sanne-and-Meg arc on the other – are captivating and thrilling. Cari Hunter almost makes me want to trudge through the snow with Sanne and her colleagues to catch bad guys and gals. That’s talent, seriously. And I love everything about Meg and Sanne’s relationship, even when they make me want to bang my head against the wall or feel like my heart is being cut in two by the slasher’s serrated knife.
As if that weren’t enough, once again, Nicola Victoria Vincent’s narration couldn’t be more perfect. Now scoot and go read this book.
Excellent story, perfect narration

Sanne, Nelson, Meg... in the space of two books, I've grown so fond of the cast of Hunter's Dark Peak series that I'm a little sad to know I've only got one more book remaining. In the space of time between book one and two, the reader is quickly made aware that things have changed between Meg and Sanne—I know, I know, I had a moment of panic, too—but in Hunter's able hands, the narrative ducks and weaves and left me completely satisfied with the journey.
More, the thriller unfolding in the background is total Cari Hunter A-Game: it's engrossing, it's befuddling, and it's resolved through a realistic mix of detective work, intuition, and luck. The verisimilitude that Hunter puts forth in this aspect of her writing is brilliant. Ditto in the sub-plot of Meg's family, which returns in the form of her brother and is very, very unwelcome.
I can't wait to get to 'A Quiet Death.'
An incredible follow up in the 'Dark Peak' series.
