Summary

One by one the girls disappeared....

When the frail body of a teenage girl is discovered strangled in a parking lot, shards of ice form in Detective Natalie Ward’s veins. As Natalie looks at the freckles scattered on her cheeks and the pale pink lips tinged with blue, she remembers that this innocent girl is somebody’s daughter.

The girl is identified as missing teenager Amelia Saunders, who has run away from home and her controlling father. Natalie’s heart sinks further when it becomes clear that Amelia has been working on the streets, manipulated by her violent new boyfriend, Tommy.

A day later, another vulnerable girl is found strangled on a park bench. Like Amelia, Katie Bray was a runaway with connections to Tommy, and Natalie is determined to find him and track down the monster attacking these scared and lonely girls.

But when a wealthy young woman is found murdered the next morning, the word guilty scrawled on her forehead, Natalie realizes that the case is more complex than she first thought. Determined to establish a connection between her three victims, Natalie wastes no time in chasing down the evidence, tracing everyone who crossed their paths. Then, a key suspect’s body turns up in the canal, a mole in Natalie’s department leaks vital information and everything seems to be against her. Can Natalie stop this clever and manipulative killer before they strike again?

A crime thriller from a best-selling author that will have you sleeping with the light on. This gripping roller-coaster ride is perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott, and Rachel Caine. Prepare to be totally hooked!

Enjoyable

This seemed to revive a series I felt should have come to an end. I’ve said it before and I know it’s churlish, but for me it’s off putting and that is the voice of Mike, it doesn’t match his description and makes him sound like, a not very bright, old man!

Carol Wyer never disappoints

Another cracking read, edge of my seat following DCI Ward's adventures in Stamford. Great book!

If you are not already listening to this series...

You really should. This entire series is fantastic. I always buy the next chapter immediately. They are gritty and real, with excellent characters and narration throughout.

Uneven storytelling

Although I am glad to have read this next book in the series, I was disappointed with the storytelling. The characters seemed overly cliched and the ending quite unsatisfying. Personally I would sack Lucy who seems like a petulant and incompetent DI. Not up to the author’s usual standard.
