Summary

One look at the victim is enough for DCI Claire Winters to recognise the work of a warped mind. And when another woman is reported missing, Claire's worst fears are confirmed: this is a killer who plans to strike again.

As the body count rises, the pressure is on for Claire to find the perpetrator and bring them to justice. But first she must learn to understand the twisted mind behind the crimes. And that will take her to a darker place than she ever thought possible.

Loved DCI Helen Grace and DI Kim Stone? Don't miss the second book in the addictive new DCI Claire Winters series.

Not sure what to say

The story starts off well but is over inflated, and with one and a half hours left to listen all I wanted to know is “who done it”, and leave with all the ends tied off. However, I’m still not sure of the ramifications having listened twice to the last five or six chapters, and maybe all will be revealed when i listen again some distant time in the future. For now, I’m changing authors.

Julie Massey is a splendid reader, as always, managing all the characters with her usual. aplomb,

I say:

I did enjoy this book very much, well thought out and very plausible. Would like to read more TME Walsh's books. However didn't particularly warm to the central character but I think it's worth to try another.

terrible formula plot writing

Boring: terrible formula plot writing padded out with laboured but unengaging character writing.Great reading though!
