I really enjoyed reading this book, it had overtones of a horror book, and I would say it may not be for everyone, certainly not for the feint hearted .I thought however it was very believable and the characters were well written, and interesting.To be honest I couldn't read it fast enough, I was desperate to find out what was going to happen next.Certainly gruesome in places but also very exciting I loved it. and would definitely read more books by this talented writer.

Dark Waters, what a thriller! The brooding menace in the Scottish forests got me thinking of the film Deliverance and I was quite expecting a couple of pipers to break out in to Dueling Bagpipes. Then it got even more sinister with the Doc in the caves. For some strange reason an old gag came to mind, ‘A towny leans on a farm gate looking at a pig in a field. He says to the farmer, “That pig has only three legs”, to which the farmer replied, “Well, you wouldn’t want to eat it all at once!” ‘
I do have a couple of issues with the plot and it relates largely to do with the abandoned garage and the quarry scrap heap. Firstly, the grisly discovery in the garage seemed very at odds with where the victim ended up. I would have expected all ‘procedures’ to have been carried out away from prying eyes and ears. Secondly, if the garage was abandoned where did the lifting tackle come from to stack the scrap cars in the quarry?
Niggles aside, a fantastic thriller, one which will be hard to beat.

DI Monica Kennedy has two mangled bodies in her case load. Still dealing with her own personal demons from the last case which saw her and her young daughter, Lucy, in danger can Monica be focused enough to solve the crimes?

A young girl has been in a car accident and wakes up being held captive and she starts to fear for her life and before long Monica has more in her plate to deal with.

I absolutely loved the first book but this one was even better. Very savage and dark, exploring how crazed some people are! Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

A very interesting read with some creepy sounding characters in it and some very strange ones, had a slight his have eyes feel to it
