The Binding Room by Nadine Matheson

rmarcin's review against another edition

4.0

Anjelica Henley is on a new case where a pastor is found dead, and a young man is left barely alive. As she tries to unravel this case, she finds that people are fanatical and are performing exorcisms. Anjelica is also conflicted about her role as a police investigator vs. being a wife and mother.
As always, Matheson's characters are complex, and this novel continued to make you wonder who was the actual killer, as there were so many possibilities!
Looking forward to book 3!

This is my first Nadine Matheson book and even though this is the second novel in the series I was able to get to grips with the characters and the plot (I will be reading The Jigsaw Man ASAP). Both the characters and storyline was gripping and I finished the novel in two sittings. The twists and turns were spectacular and as the twists and turns were revealed and more suspects introduced I was kept in suspense until the last moment when all was revealed.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of the novel in exchange for an honest review

Her writing style does it again! I think I prefer the 1st book’s story but this one is just as wild.
