Thank you NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for the eARC.
Detective Ford has just been promoted to Detective Inspector when he's heading the case of a serial killer who's exsanguianated three people and killed the young son of the first female victim.
A food bank links the killings, and they end up with two suspects. Ford instinctively knows one of them is the the killer, but can't find any hard evidence.
The book features both Ford and the killer's pov's, but we don't know to the truth 'till the very end.
I'm not too sure about Ford yet...he's mildly likeable, but I loved Hannah, she's a real treat and has a superb amount of interesting facts to impart, learned from her stint at Quantico. A great character! She makes the book enjoyable.

Ford is a newly promoted Detective Inspector in Wales. We meet him 6 years after losing his wife in a climbing accident. It was an accident, but Ford blames himself and considers himself a murderer. He is raising his 15 year old son, Sam, on his own. Additionally, a new member has been added to the CSI team with Ford works with closely. Her name is Dr. Hannah Fellowes. She is smart and pretty and very outspoken. We find that is related to her Asperger's diagnosis. While she is British, she has spent a lot of time working in the USA with the FBI. Her previous work experience and vast knowledge are assets to Ford's team and while he is attracted to her, he is not over losing his wife. This relationship is not a dominate story line, but could build over time in future books. IT seems this is the first in a new series. In addition to Hanna, Ford has a great team of detectives working with him. his old friend and colleague Julie (Jools). Mick, who appears to have a bit of a thing for Jools. Alec, Hanna's boss and Sandy, Ford's boss. In this story those who are struggling financially and use the local food-bank when they are in need of food are the target of the killer. There are two suspects brought to light right away. The red-herrings which make the read suspect one than the other and back to the other are fantastic. I had a feeling I knew whom the killer was, but our author did not make it easy. I am hoping this does become a series as I would like to spend more time in Wales with DI Ford and his colleagues.

Thank you Netgally for allowing me to read this book early. This book is about a murder of a young women and her son.
Detective Ford and his team need to find the killer with very little clues to go on. . This book kept me on the edge of my seat I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Cant wait for the next one..

Hannah is a refreshingly different character with her analytical mind and habit of saying exactly what she is thinking.DI Ford is under pressure to get results but his hands are tied by the old boys network. It is a pacey novel and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
