Great characters and enough twists to keep you guessing, then you are caught up in the chase against tine to prevent another death. Told from different points of view and jumping back to the initial murders 25 years previously. I really enjoyed how the story unfolds. Filled with tension. I would definitely recommend this book and I will be looking to read more by this author.

The third in the series, I have read the others and enjoyed them. Nadine writes books about graphic and intricate crimes. They are well thought out and that was the case with this book too. I found the first part of the book disjointed, it took a while to for it to come together and for me to see relationships between what was happening, when I did get an overview, I started to enjoy the book more.
There is a lot going on in this book, the crimes are set in the 90s and present day and the plot is told from quite a lot of viewpoints. Some of the team are also having family problems. This does not distract from the plot, but I thought it added to the interest and made the lives of the team more realistic. I suppose to understand this aspect of the book, it would have helped to have read the previous episodes in the series, but otherwise the book works fine as a standalone.
Thanks to Net Galley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review . I look forward to reading future books by this author

Brilliant thriller author. Would highly recommend this book to others. Couldn’t put this down for hours

I absolutely love this series and this book is a great addition to it!

I loved the progression with Henley and the teams' individual storylines alongside the case they investigate - this one being a case from the 90's that's reopened as a result of a present day case.

There's so much going on with the cases that I didn't figure out who the true culprit was. Though it's so detailed with every bit of the investigation, it is very fast paced and a lot happens in a short space of time.

This can be read as a standalone but the previous 2 books are that good that I'd recommend reading them all!

Nadine Matheson delivers again and has become one of my absolute favourite thriller authors. Highly recommend

An enjoyable, gripping, quick read.
I absolutely loved The Jigsaw Man & was delighted to find out more about Henley & the team. This kept me guessing all the way through & the question Rhimes being a good or bad cop gave me a bit to think about.
Great.
My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for my eARC in return for my honest review.

Brilliant serial killer story which is part of a series about the SCU and their cases.
This book starts with allegations about an old unit boss and the fact that he may have been dirty and manipulated or created false evidence to see an innocent man found guilty of multiple murders.
The main character has a vested interest in the case as the first victim was her best friend and suddenly the case against the person who allegedly killed her has fallen apart..
Therefore the race is on to find who the real killer is as suddenly more victims appear.
Couldn't put the book down and I really do recommend it as a great read.

An absolute belter of a read. Launched straight into the action, this is fast paced and kept me on my toes from beginning to end. I read this all in one sitting and found it the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

One of the best thrillers I have read in a while. I was hooked from the first couple of pages and knew instantly it was a book I would enjoy, and I was not disappointed.

Page turner after page turner, twist and turns in each chapter.

Very well written, great suspense. Really enjoyed this book!

I really enjoyed the Kill List by Nadine Matheson, The characters as always are well written and easy to like although I do wish Henley would ditch her iritating husband soon.
The story line is gripping and keeps you guessing to the end at who the supposed killer is and the back stories to the detectives keep them interesting without ditracting from the main focus. all in all another excellant story and I look forwward to the next one.

This is an action packed and cleverly written thriller which really kept me intrigued until the end. I really liked the different characters and the intricate plotting, it was a rollercoaster of a read. Although this is book 3 in the series featuring Anjelica Henley, it could easily be read as a stand alone. An exciting, gritty and action packed read which I would recommend. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

I really do enjoy this series. That is ... I love reading it. Enjoy might be the wrong way of putting it, given that the murders in it are quite dark and, it is fair to be said, this latest offering from Nadine Matheson, The Kill List, might be one of the darkest yet. Called in to investigate some cold cases with a very personal connection, it's safe to say that our protagonist, Anjelica Henley, is going to be be pushed to the very limits this time around. With challenge on both a personal and professional front, it makes for one challenging time for her, and for the team who are also forced to investigate a case of possible corruption involving their one time colleague and mentor, Rhimes.

Now when I say that this is a dark case, it is largely becuase of the MO of the murderer. It put me very much in mind of an old episode of the TV show, Millenium, but where the victims in that case were alive when the final insult and violation of them was undertaken, this particular act is undertaken post mortem on the victims in this case. It doesn't make it any less disturbing and does add a skin crawling element to an already disturbing set of murders. The victims, largely women, including Henley's childhood best friend, were abducted, tortured, abused and murdered in a very disturbing way - one capable of giving even the most rational of readers sleepless nights. I'm not going to say what but it's one of those methods of dispatch which really does feature high on the 'worst ways to go' lists of many a person I should imagine.

I really like the way Nadine Matheson has framed this book. By providing this close personal connection, and adding in the complications of a possible case of corruption against one of her closest friends, Rhimes, as well as providing a lot of conflict on a domestic front, you really do feel the pressure piling on Henley, and they way in which the author explores this pressure and the impact it has on Henley really does work well. With a number of surprises along the way, and an underlying sense of threat feeding through every chapter, it is one of those books that just kept me turning the page and powering through the book far too quickly.

Nadine Matheson is great at creating conflict and tension, and held my attention through a series of shocking and unexpected revelations. With an opening that really does leave you questioning anything you might have thought you knew, and that has you questioning everything that comes to pass throughout the book, I knew from the beginning this was going to be something special. It gives us a little more information on Henley's history and the circumstances that have shaped the person she has become, particularly some of her internalised fears. And with chapters told from the perspective of an unknown suspect giving the reader evidence that police just don't have, it felt at times like we were having a bit of a race to see who - reader or Henley - would figure out the truth first. With the pace and threat ramping up towards the end, it's almost a relief to get to the end so that we can relax for a while. It was one of those heart pounding races against time where the stakes are high and the attention unwavering. Loved it.

I do really enjoy this series, the sense of authenticity that Nadine Matheson is able to bring to it, whilst taking us right to the edge of the darkness and sometimes well into the shadows. The characters. are great, and whilst this story did affect Henley greatly, it was interesting to see the author explore the impact that case also had on Ramouter with the changes to his personal circumstances. Add in the chemistry and resultant tension between Henley and Pellacia and it makes for a completely addictive read. Fans of the series are going to love it. I can't wait to see what comes next.

I have read this book and enjoyed it. It did keep me wanting to find out who the murderer was. Was it the same person who had stopped for so many years, then started again, or was it a copycat.
Then you have the struggles of the detective who gave a witness statement at the original murders and was having problems in her personal life and having to investigate these latest murders with doubt being put on her immediate colleague and dead boss. Plenty to keep a reader going.

Thank you, NetGalley, for introducing Nadine Matheson via The Kill List. It was a truly gripping plot that ensured I did not criticise my husband's driving. It also frustrated me when I had to focus on safety announcements during two flights. Superb characters, even though I haven't read the previous two books, did not distract me, as the author outlined their personalities and backgrounds sufficiently that I engaged with them fully. A few "I've got this" points in the book, but also enough surprises and twists that kept me captivated until the last page. Brilliant, and I've already downloaded the previous two book to read.

Had to read this one as I remembered loving the Jigsaw Man. DI Henly is one of my favourites and this installment definitely maintains my love for her books. The pacing was superb - a great thriller that kept me guessing throughout and a captivating cast of characters!

I received this book from Net Galley and my review is impartial
Wow this book did not disappoint. I have read the 1st 2 books in the series and really wanted to see how the story would play out.
Henley runs a tight knit team and her past comes back to haunt her. She has to investigate the killing of her childhood best friend as they may have not got the correct killer for the crime. In top of that her team have to investigate her ex boss for being a bent copper.
The plot was really good with different parts of investigations intertwining with you unsure which way the case was going to go.
Left the door open for the next book which I will definitely be reading

I enjoyed The Jigsaw Man by Nadine Matheson so i was excited to read The Kill List and it definitely gave me suspense, intensity and twists / turns.

Twenty five years ago Andrew Streeter was convicted of five brutal murders and is currently serving his sentence in an open prison due to a cancer diagnosis. Anjelica Henley was fifteen years old at the time of Streeter's conviction and was a witness in the court case as her best friend, Melissa, was one of the victims. The Court of Appeal has now deemed his conviction unsafe but before he can be released both he and his solicitor end up dead. Now DI Anjelica Henley and her team at the SCU are tasked with investigating both deaths, re-investigating the original five murders. The team also have to investigate whether DCSI Rhimes, the former head of SCU and Henley's mentor, was corrupt and had planted evidence to ensure Streeter's conviction.

This is the third book in the Anjelica Henley series and just like the first two it's a belter. A proper page turner which kept me gripped from beginning to end. Will recommend it to all my reading friends.

Thanks to Netgalley, HQ and Nadine Matheson for the ARC of this book in return for an honest review.

Ever since Nadine's first novel, The Jigsaw Man, I've eagerly awaited each new instalment in the DI Henley series.

This is one of the most authentic police procedurals out there. The characters are full of so much heart and warmth that you miss them as soon as you turn the last page. This latest instalment, The Kill List, is my favourite of the series so far. I love the concept of reopening a cold case and revisiting evidence, and this plot is incredible. You won't be able to put this book down!

Loved reconnecting with the characters, great plot idea but in places a little long winded, spoiling the pace just a bit for me.
Definitely not a stand alone book if you want to understand the intricacies of some of the characters backstories, which I think are needed to fully appreciate the dilemmas they find themselves facing in this installment.
