Thank you Joffe Books and NetGalley for the eARC.
DC Rutherford Barnes and his partner Harriet are on the hunt for burglars at night after a spate of them, when they discover Harriet's house has been ransacked and a nasty message left for her. Soon thereafter Harriet goes missing. Her horribly mutilated body is found by Barnes and then a female detective goes missing as well.
Barnes is promoted to Detective and vows to find out why Harriet was killed, while his delighted wife, happy with Barnes' promotion and pay raise, decides they must try for a baby.
Barnes is a likeable character and the book is ok, but I found myself getting a bit bored after a while; I feel the story could have been shorter. All in all though, it was a reasonable read.

Fantastic and thrilling. A great quick mystery for those who enjoy the genre. Highly recommend if you are looking for a quick read that is gripping
