Riipaiseva mysteeri! Kirjaan oli ehkä mahdutettu jopa liikaa, minkä takia se jäi itselleni lievästi neljän tähden alapuolelle. Tarina oli kuitenkin hyvä ja lopussa oli pakko kääntää sivuja vietävällä nopeudella.

Ruth Galloway works on a documentary about the infamous Mother Hook, who allegedly killed her foster children. DCI Nelson investigates a mother with three dead children as well as a kidnapper.
PROS:

• Interactions with new characters change the dynamics of established relationships
• Great atmosphere and tension
• Happy endings come at a cost for some characters

CONS:

• Ruth and Nelson continue their dance
• One incident where “transsexual” rather than transgender is used. An earlier incident used “gender” to mean sex at birth.
