Publisher's summary

When Darkness Calls is the first in a crime thriller series starring forensic psychologist Holly Wakefield. For fans of Patricia Cornwell, Val McDermid, Robert Galbraith and the TV crime series Luther and Strike.

Do you dare to look into the eye of a serial killer?

Holly Wakefield works for the NHS as a criminal psychologist specialising in serial killers. She has particular reason to be good at her job - but she keeps that to herself.

When DI Bishop from the Met Police approaches Holly to investigate a recent killing, Holly is horrified by the dismembered bodies and the way they have been theatrically positioned. More shocking still is when the pathologist reveals this is not the first time she has seen these mutilations. It means a serial killer is out there, and they're going to kill again - soon.

Holly is used to chasing serial killers. But this killer has something in common with Holly that she's kept hidden for as long as she can remember. And for the first time since she was a child, Holly is forced to face the darkness of her past....

A gripping thriller set in London, featuring a criminal psychologist who specialises in hunting serial killers and has hidden reasons for being unnervingly good at her job....

Lost me at the climax

The lead protagonist made too many stupid mistakes, completely out of character, at the end. I can only suspend my disbelief so far, and there were just too many things that didn’t add up (ex a character falls from the landing of a stairwell in a 2-story cabin, yet the fall is somehow 20 feet??) And the editor should be ashamed - the average 3rd grader knows that lightening comes BEFORE thunder, not AFTER! I could let that go if it were just mentioned in passing, but it’s actually used to further the action/plot.
Narration was pretty good. Just wish the story had held up a bit better.

Good but...

It was good but predictable. Cant say I was too surprised by the mystery of it all, if anything it was all out there to be seen. I like the main characters but I'm not in love with how the book played out, it was a great plot executed poorly.
