Being appointed as SIO on this murder case gives DCI Kate Daniels an opportunity to give her reputation a boost after her failure to solve a double murder case from 11 months earlier. But her boss seems very reluctant to let her loose, besides which he has problems of his own.

In addition Kate recognises the victim and should report that it, but she is afraid that will take her off the case. As time goes on more murders occur and it seems there must be a connection and the team desperately searches for it.

The reader is made privy to the mind of the murderer so we work desperately too to discover his identity.

A police procedural with a few twists. ( )

DCI Kate Daniels, her partner Hank Gormley, with the rest of the MIT are tracking a killer. Kate is also still trying to solve an unsolved from the prior year. As it turns out, the cases may be related.

Vibrant details fill the pages for character, scenery, and narrative descriptions allowing rich and thorough enjoyment throughout the tale.

As the narrative progresses, we learn as the characters learn about the twisting mysteries, as well as, the personal obstacles the characters face and overcome. The story line is primarily told from the perspective of Kate Daniels, yet does seamlessly shift to other perspectives as needed.

Both the action and the mystery components of the story are well plotted and consistent throughout.

Overall, a thrilling read! ( )
