This is the second book in the DI Helena Stratton crime series but can easily be read as a standalone.
Well, what a story and a half this one was. I’ve come across some sick and twisted killers in my love of crime novels but this one really freaked me out. The murders are brutal and horrific yet I couldn’t stop turning those pages to carry on reading as to what would happen next.
You can feel Helena and her teams frustrations as the body count keeps rising and yet they are nowhere near catching the culprit. I wondered if for once this was a case that the police wouldn’t be able to solve. If you want to know if they do, then you will need to read it yourself.
The Lady In The Street is a hair raising and gripping read that sent shivers down my spine. The authors have really raised the bar with their second book in the series. Can’t wait to see what they come up with next. A chilling crime thriller that’s not to be missed.
My thanks to the authors for an advanced readers copy of this book. All opinions are my own and not biased in anyway.

This is the second book in this series and what a cracker it is! Full of suspense and intrigue, we have a story that pulls you in from the start and a book that is unputdownable.
DI Stratton and her team and have just finished solving one murder and now faced with a stabbing of a young female that doesn't seem to make sense. The murder victim has been stabbed multiple times but there is a lack of blood. Why? Where is it all? A neighbour opposite remembers seeing a woman in the street during the night. Who is she? Could she have seen something? The police start their enquiries but then there is another murder....just what is going on in this small seaside town?
This is such a dark book but superbly written and it will draw you. DI Stratton and her team have their work cut out to crack this murder case as it will test them. Just who is this woman who keeps appearing and are the killings random or connected? If so, how? A fantastic read, I loved it.
