I just lost interest in the story. Not a badly written book by any means.

This is such a good read. It has you hooked from the first page and you don't want to put it down.
When Eva approaches her ex Mark about a possible serial killer he knows that he can't say no to her.
Will they be able to find the killer before anyone else dies?
Brilliant storyline and great characters with a heart stopping end.
A must read.

You definitely want to read the prequel Fairy Tale Killer as it give you great insight to both Mark and Eva but it's also a fantastic read and leaves you wanting more which brings us to this book. This book perfectly eases you back into things getting to touch base with Mark and Eva to see what they were up to now and what had happened in the time since the Fairy Tale Killer and how Ava's interest is peaked after a bystanders comment about multiple deaths. This story draws you in and has you needing to know who is behind it and why just like Ava and Mark, there are twists, danger, frustrations as well as unresolved feelings and a murder to catch before more die and that is hat make this a page turner! This isn't a short book so make sure you get comfy and supplies near you as you really won't be moving until the very end and then left wanting the next book lol

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This was such a great read - it was gripping trying to work out how the murderer did it and how the different strands fitted in.

The characters are very well developed and I really wanted to know more and continue on the journey with them.

The setting was unusual and I liked that and it reminded me of a long ago holiday.

I was given an advance copy by the author in exchange for a fair and honest review which I have done.

challenging mysterious slow-paced

3.5

I give this book 3.5 stars. I was given this book for a honest review. The book can be interesting in some parts but then it drops off. It took me a few weeks to finish it because I felt like it was missing something that just did not hold my attention. Men and women were being murdered and they were in some way connected, either they knew each other or they were dating at one point. Well in comes a crime journalist and a retired US military investigator. The two just finished up a famous case where they helped catch a serial killer. The crime journalist noticed that there are murders happening in her small down but they are being ruled as suicides and she knows that it just isn’t right. There is a informal task force put together in order to find out what is really going on in this small town. The one person that is very suspect is Peter a book shop owner that is just very needy and drives me crazy. There is a second book coming out and I am interested in what they are going to investigate next.
