This book had me stumped. Sitting smug and thinking I had it all thought out, the author put me in my place. Finally we have a thriller that will keep you your toes. As with a number of authors I have been reading recently I cannot believe that this is the authors debut novel! I truly enjoyed myself and will be recommending it to anyone I see for the next few months.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed reading this book, it was gripping and so unpredictable, I couldnt qork it out and when I thought I had worked it out it shocked me all over again. Such a good story and great characters. I really liked it

I thought this book was okay, it was a bit different, and I liked that. Would I read another one ? Not sure, it was a good book but not outstanding, for me.

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this book although some of the subject matters were a bit controversial. Nonetheless a good read. Recommended.

One of the best thrillers I have read in the past year. Pacy, gripping and pretty much impossible to put down. Kept me wondering throughout. A great read.

The story was fascinating and totally kept my interest. Thank you so much for a great read. I will be looking out for future books by this author.

This is the first book in a crime series following the Major Crime Investigation Team in Batterton, England. We meet DI Susanna David and her boyfriend DS Chris McAvoy as they work together to solve a series of murders of men seemingly unconnected. It is a police procedural that takes the reader through the steps of the investigation without being boring. It is also a story of revenge. Rita is an artist who was attacked by 3 men as a teenager twenty years ago. Most of the men have put her out of their minds. They shouldn't have. The characters are well developed and believable. Deborah was controlling and after hearing Rita's story convinced her what needed to be done. The detectives are thorough, and they are human. Bernie the reporter is very believable in her attempt to get a story. The murdered men--well maybe they deserved it. I received a copy of this book from netGalley but this is an honest review. I very much enjoyed it and look forward to reading more in this series.

This was an interesting debut novel and I am glad that I read it. It looks like there is promise to the series and the author is someone to watch and read more.
The story itself had a lot in there - perhaps too much but overall really enjoyed it.
I was given a free copy by netgalley and the publishers but the review is entirely my own.
