Our killer is one of the most frightening you’ll come across in fiction & there are some gruesome scenes. She’s got a difficult investigation of her own concerning abandoned babies & they bounce ideas off each other as they struggle to crack the cases. Initially he rebuffs her friendship but as the story progresses her warm & straight forward manner begins to thaw his cool, prickly demeanour. She’s a smart, hard working cop & one of the few to reach out & welcome Luc to the force. Others include members of Luc’s squad & his colleague DI Ava Turner. We know his identity early on & he’s just one the characters who take turns narrating the story. More women will be taken & more will die as the killer hides in plain sight. They can’t know it yet but he & his team are about to come up against a devious & meticulous killer.

It’s not his jurisdiction but there’s a chance it could be missing Edinburgh lawyer Elaine Buxton. He’s called about a body found in a burned out bothy in the Caimgorms. The fact that he doesn’t want to be there is not helping. Rumours are swirling & he’s not exactly being embraced by his new team. He recently left a job with Interpol under a cloud & has surfaced as a DI in Edinburgh. Luc Callanach is having a marginally better day. Unfortunately he has a few…um…procedures planned as part of his scheme to convince everyone she is dead. You’d think being abducted by a mad man would be your worst nightmare come true. This book left me with palpitations & an irrational fear of dentures.Įlaine Buxton is having a really bad day. For fans of Val McDermid and Stuart MacBride.Some books leave you feeling warm & fuzzy, some leave you sad or thoughtful.
