MY REVIEW:
I do like a good psychological thriller but don’t often real crime novels like this one, but I liked the sound of the plot. It was amazing! So gripping and compelling that I read it over a weekend.
Pippa is new to CID, and has a lot to learn, but a natural instinct for detective work. She has to get used to the banter, and often sexism, from the other detectives, but you can see her grow in confidence over the course of the novel. I really liked her as a character and found her back story very interesting. She’s a multi-layered character, and I really hope we’ll have more books featuring her in the future, as I feel there’s more to discover about her.
The plot is perfectly paced, revealing a little at a time. I had a few theories as to who the murderer was along the way, but it wasn’t what I expected in the end.
Well plotted, excellent characters and an unexpected twist at the end make for a very engrossing read.
