I’ve read the other 4 and loved them, but I’d suggest reading them in order or it could get confusing. I accidentally read book 4 first, and it referenced events that happened in book 1. I wasn’t reviewing or blogging at that time, so you’ll have to trust me when I say that these books are normally WAY out of my comfort zone when it comes to creepy-scary.
TRIGGER WARNING: This book has many references to suicide attempts and mental health issues, there are gory and gruesome descriptions of murders. There is one erotic scene, plenty of profanity, one reference to rape, mentions of substance use, infidelity, and migrant exploitation.
While the other books in the series were much scarier and creepier, this one was still an enjoyable read. It didn’t have the immense gore and elements that led me to double check my locks at night before bed, but it had the trade-off of increased emotional aspects. I still loved the writing and I’m highly emotionally invested in the series. There was one aspect towards the end that didn’t feel genuine to me, as it involved a bit of sloppy police work, but I still plan on devouring the next book as soon as possible.

This series is chillingly addictive...so far from whodunnit...such twisty plotting and great characters. Beautifully noir
I’ll be honest, this book was hard for me to get into. I’m not sure if it was because I haven’t read any of the other books in the series and was not already connected to the characters or if this book was just not for me.
“Stephen Berry is about to jump off a bridge until a suicide prevention counsellor stops him. A week later, Stephen is dead. Found at the bottom of a cliff, DI Luc Callanach and DCI Ava Turner are drafted in to investigate whether he jumped or whether he was pushed.”
I think others should give it a try even though it wasn’t my favorite. Thank you #netgalley and #avonpublishing for the chance to read an advanced copy of this book.

We begin with a Mr. Stephen Berry in the midst of committing suicide on top of a bridge. But soon he is helped down by a suicide prevention counsellor. Yet within a week he is found dead, and though it looks like suicide, both DI Luc Callanach and DCI Ava Turner are drafted in to investigate whether he jumped or whether he was pushed…But before they can conclude that investigation, more bodies pile up. All former suicide patients and on first glance they seem to have been successful in it. Yet there is something wrong in the way these suicides are committed and as more bodies are found, it becomes clear there’s a serial killer on the loose.
Since I am late to the party, the relationship between Callanach and Turner is not something I can comment on except it doesn’t stand out like a sore thumb. It is smoothly integrated into the storyline and contributes to the plot. The problems that arise between the boss and their subordinate is aptly captured as well. The serial killer is definitely not a run of the mill kind and does have a unique spin to them. There was a subplot I felt was unnecessary.
