‘Kept me hooked’ Angela Marsons

‘An excellent read’ Martina Cole

'Gritty, dark and chilling’ Mel Sherratt

A dark and gripping debut crime novel – the first in a stunning new series – from a huge new talent.

The killer is just getting started…

When three wife beaters are themselves found beaten to death, DC Maggie Jamieson knows she is facing her toughest case yet.

The police suspect that Probation Officer Lucy Sherwood – who is connected to all three victims – is hiding a dark secret. Then a fourth domestic abuser is brutally murdered.

And he is Lucy’s husband.

Now the police are running out of time, but can Maggie really believe her friend Lucy is a cold-blooded killer?

This book touched on a very sensitive and secretive subject that sadly happens in society.
The behavior of those effected by this were very real!
I had ideas on who-dun-it, towards the end of the story, and one of the people I was thinking about, did it, but I was still surprised!
The ending... !!!
I can't wait for #2!

Amazing start to a new series!!!!

This debut book deals with a very disturbing subject - domestic abuse and the women who remain in those relationships. Not pleasant. But the plot is decent and, for a first book, I think it’s pretty good.

The narration was okay. Personally, I would have liked a voice with a bit more gravitas but it wasn’t distracting.

I look forward to more in this series.

Great start by a new author
