One thing about Wood's books that I love it the fact that they take off running from page 1.

I found it extremely hard to put my kindle down and to not sneakily read at work. I might be biased as Wood is my favorite Crime Thriller author but I can honestly, not find anything wrong with this book. It immersed me from the first chapter, with our beloved Scott attacked and DCI Darke missing. Kept me on the edge of my seat, speculating who, what and how. With the main character out of commission, the rest of the team really came together to try and uncover the mysteries surrounding Matilda's disappearance and with that I have to acknowledge that Wood did a fantastic job in not having an actual main character focused in this book, but rather the whole cast come into play. I was delighted to have Sian back with the team as well.

As usual, we have a stellar cliffhanger ending that grips and leaves us yanking out wondering how long we have to wait for the next book.

Thank you Netgalley and One More Chaper, HarperCollins UK for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.
