Unfortunately I didn’t realise this book was part of a series before I started reading it. It was good, but I feel like I should have read the rest of the series first.

I have previously enjoyed this series however, I found it hard to connect after such a long break reading them. Sarah write well, but this book just wasnt for me.

Wow, already book 5, can you believe it. This was such an intense read, I can't imagine where DI Rome can still go, but I suppose there is endless possibilities. This was an entertaining read, gripping from beginning to end, and with an ending surpassing belief! Recommended.

I didn't enjoy this book as much as I thought I would and I think that was more to do with the plot than the writing style. I usuallly read books in one or two sittings when I'm riveted but for this one, I kept picking it up and putting it down after only 1 or 2 chapters. Possibly this was down to the fact that I haven't read all of the others in the series and coming to it cold may not have been the best move. I would definitely read more from the author but just didn't feel that the plot in this particular one was for me.

Yet again Sarah Hilary writes in a way that makes it impossible to put the book down until you finish it! 2 women both writing to a convicted murderer, why? and who? read it!

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. One of my all time favourite authors and the 5th in the series. This was a brilliant read from start to finish. Highly recommend

Well I am a little bit surprised by how I feel having finished this book. I am a huge Sarah Hilary fan and have loved the previous 4 books, however...yes you guessed it, I wasn't overly keen on this one. Sometimes no matter how much a fan you are, some storylines you just can't get into and this book was one such case.

For a start I picked up and started this book 3 times which is unusual for me, but every time I got the first couple of chapters in I found I didn't want to read on. So on my third attempt I ploughed on and as with most books before you know it you are halfway through. The premise involves a riot at Cloverton Prison and a prisoner escapes, which leaves all sorts of problems in its wake and some of these problems involve Marnie Rome's foster brother, Stephen Keele. Marnie's sidekick Noah (who I love by the way) is back again and he and Marnie must find the escapee Michael Vokey before he does more damage.

I'm not going to delve any more into the storyline because the synopsis tells you that but in one way I almost felt like I had read this on its own without knowing who had written it Sarah Hilary would have been the last person I chose. I feel like her writing style is somewhat different to previous books and it almost felt like it could be read as a standalone book, even though there are some things that involve past events. I just can't put my finger on what exactly it was but when you are part way into a series and have loved all 4 books, you have a certain expectation for book 5. I almost feel like having read this, somebody got it wrong and this isn't the correct book by the right author...does that make sense.

If I look at it as a standalone book, yes it's certainly not a bad book and I am sure thousands of people will love this. However, for me I really couldn't move away from a middle of the road rating because it is just too far removed from the others in the series. Having seen many other reviews, I feel like maybe I am in the minority and maybe (sometimes this happens) my head wasn't in the right frame of mind. I think my conclusion would be certainly not a bad book, just not what I was expecting. I think I may we revisit this in a few months just before Book 6 being released and see if I feel differently about it.

Excellent book with a great storyline. Characters that are so well written. I would highly recommend this book to anyone!

This is the fifth book in the series featuring DI Marnie Rome, Noah Jake and their team. This is a great series and this book works well as a standalone but please read the other four books first or you will have missed out on a fantastic read. The book opens with a brutal and bloody prison riot and one of the country’s most notorious prisoners, Michael Vokey, escapes. Marnie is personally involved as her foster brother, Stephen Keele, is a prisoner in this jail and is hospitalised in the riot. Keele murdered Marnie’s parents and she is still waiting for him to tell her why he did it. It transpires that two women, who don’t know each other, have been writing letters to Vokey sharing intimate details of themselves and their addresses. Marnie realises that now Vokey is out of prison their lives may be in danger. The story is told from a number of characters including Ted Ells, Vokey’s cellmate, who was hospitalised in the attack. This book is dark, powerful, full of suspense and will keep you gripped to the end. I am looking forward to book number six.
Thanks to NetGalley and Headline for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

Sarah Hilary is a good storyteller. This is book five in the Marnie Rome series. There is excellent character development, a solid plot and a great twist at the end. Roll on book six! Thanks to Net Galley for my copy. Reviewed on Amazon, Facebook and Goodreads.

'Come and Find Me' is the fifth book in the DI Marnie Rome series, and what an astonishingly great addition it is. Present are the customary twists and turns, the ambitious detective with required personality flaws and a plot that thoroughly grips the reader. So much so that I felt as though I had been throttled by the end of it, it had been holding me so tightly and for the whole duration.

This is not a book for the faint-hearted, it is dark, demonic and disturbing - all fantastic things to have in crime fiction! This is a gory, bloody and simply monstrous read, and Sarah Hilary is adept at the misdirection smoke and mirrors she wealds here. The narrative flows beautifully and is a pleasure to read, the characters are relatable and believable and it all comes together seamlessly. I look forward to the future additions to the series. Highly recommended.

Many thanks to Headline for an ARC. I was not required to post a review, and all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

OMG what a book !!!!!
I feel I need to have a bath in bleach.
This author is brilliant at what she does, she really does write from the Dark side.
It all starts with a prison riot.Body parts and rivers of blood oh and not forgetting a psychopathic MONSTER.
He has female acolytes who want to be with him, love him and do anything for him.
It is upto D I Marnie Rome and her team to find out what happened and catch the monster.
This book gets under your skin the writing is brilliant. In fact the whole series is amazing. Personally I think that this one is the best.
This book is pure evil of the mind, manipulation and retribution.
Come Find Me is all smoke and mirrors and mis direction. I devoured this book.
Can't wait for the next in this series. A Hannibal Lecture of the mind, really scary and will stay with me long after I have finished the last page.
I would like to thank the author Sarah Hilary, Headline and Net.galley for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for giving an honest review.

I was super excited to discover book number 5 in the DI Marnie Rome series. I first discovered Sarah Hillary during a book signing of her first book in a small book shop in Bristol, and I’ve been a fan ever since.
Every one of her books has been brilliant, and Come and find me hasn’t disappointed.
DI Marnie Rome is sent in to investigate the disappearance of dangerous criminal Michael Volkey, who escaped during a riot at HMP Cloverton. But is he really responsible for the devastation left behind after his escape.
Deep, dark and twisty, a great page turner and fantastic psychological thriller. Marnies personal back story also features heavily, which follows on well from the previous instalments.
Great storyline, great characters, great 5th book.

Really enjoyed reading this book a lot. The story seemed to flow very naturally and the characters were believable.
The story itself had some gripping and tense moments and I was very happy I got the chance to read it.

This is the 5th book in the successful Marnie Rome series, and whilst it can be read as a stand-alone, several of the main characters do have back stories that play an integral part in the series.

I personally found Come Find Me slightly slower than the previous 4 books and less crime/police procedural. However what I did realise whilst reading this book is what a phenomenal author Sarah Hilary is. This book has incredible character depth and enables the reader to feel and breath each characters emotions, fears and actually hear their voices. (Note: I don’t actually hear voices in my head).

Come Find Me is more than a crime novel, it’s a perfect example of bringing characters to life, weaving a beautifully constructed plot, keeping the reader emotionally hooked and leaving us in tears.

This is a sensational addition to Sarah Hilary's stellar London based series featuring DI Marnie Rome. It all begins with a bang with a fully fledged riot at HMP Cloverton, assumed to be instigated by the dangerous Michael Volkey, who manages to escape. The fallout has Volkey's cellmate, Ted Elms, on life support, experiencing locked in syndrome whilst in a coma. Marnie's foster brother, Stephen Keele, responsible for the murder of her parents, has acquired life threatening injuries in the riot, leaving her in a quandry, if he dies she will never learn what happened and why. As DI Rome, and her team are called in to investigate the riot, they find themselves encountering the intricacies and complications of being a prison inmate, and the fear, threats and lies that underpin prison life, spilling to the outside world too.

Michael Volkey's crimes have attracted a strong fan following from women, including Laura Chorley and Ruth Hull, two apparently different personalities, communicating via letters with their deepest fears and secrets. As Marnie, driven by her demons, leads the hunt, she fears for the women as Volkey is expected to head their way. There is the blackest of humour as the house packed with old items becomes known as the 'Antiques Roadshow Massacre'. The narrative is delivered from a number of characters including Ted Elms, although primarily Marnie and Noah. The multiple story threads slowly begin to connect, leading to the totally out of the blue ending. Along the way, Hilary expertly places a number of twists.

Hilary has done impressive research on prison, the problems of the prison system that exacerbate the lives of inmates, highlighting life inside with authenticity and realism, providing us with her customary social and political commentary. What drives this series is the ongoing character development of DI Marnie Rome, her troubled personal history and obsession with Stephen Keele, mirroring the women who obsess over Michael Volkey. Noah has his own family travails with his mother blaming him for his brother, Sol's problems. If you have not come across this series, I strongly urge you to acquaint yourself with it. A brilliant and compulsive read, cannot wait for the next in the series. Many thanks to Headline for an ARC.

There's no reason to think that Lara Chorley and Ruth Hull have anything in common, other than a rather strange infatuation with writing to Michael Vokey, a sadistic inmate of Cloverton Prison. They crave his attention and can't believe that he's as evil as his trial suggests. It might not have become important was it not for the riot at the prison, which ended up with Vokey killing two inmates, blinding and maiming more - and escaping under cover of the smoke from the fire he caused. Not surprisingly staff and inmates at Cloverton are unwilling to talk about where they think Vokey might be hiding out - they have wives, children and friends who might be at risk.

DI Marnie Rome understands all about obsession: that's how she feels about her foster brother, Steven Keele. It's six years since he murdered her parents, but she can't get him out of her mind. In a strange way, she worries about him. The Vokey / Chorley / Hull conundrum is different though: Keele is in custody, albeit seriously ill from smoke inhalation, but Vokey is at large and Marnie Rome fears that he might have one of the women. He has history in this area and the police has just found a property which he owns and there's a grave been dug in the cellar.

Sarah Hilary is an impressive writer: she's the master of the telling phrase which speaks volumes and her characterisation is excellent. We know Rome quite well now, but she's a complex character who leaves you with the feeling that we don't yet know everything. Noah Jake, the gay sargeant, is struggling with the fact that his brother is in Pentonville - ''and'' the guilt which he feels from the fact that he put him there. Jake had little choice - but will his mother ever appreciate that nicety? The plot is good too, with plenty of twists, to the point where I gave up trying to second guess what was going to happen and just enjoyed the ride.

I've one minor quibble with this series: it does seem to revolve around Marnie Rome's relationship with Steven Keele. I'd really like to see what she's capable of when she's freed from that burden.

As well as reading the book I listened to an audio download (I bought it myself) which was narrated by Imogen Church. She's impressive and a real pleasure to listen to: I particularly liked the voice of Noah Jake and his brother Sol. It's unusual for a woman to capture male voices so well and I look forward to hearing more from her in the future.

You ''could'' read ''Come and Find Me'' as a standalone, but you will lose out on the continuing story arc. Start at the beginning.
