Leave No Trace by Jo Callaghan

4.0

When the body of a man is found crucified at the top of Mount Judd, AIDE Lock – the world’s first AI Detective – and DCS Kat Frank are thrust into the spotlight as they are given their first live case. But with the discovery of another man’s body – also crucified – it appears that their killer is only just getting started. With the police warning local men to be vigilant, the Future Policing Unit is thrust into a hostile media frenzy as they desperately search for connections between the victims. But time is running out for them to join the dots and prevent another death. For if Kat and Lock know anything, it’s that killers rarely stop – until they are made to.

I've been so looking forward to this follow up and it absolutely didn't disappoint. It's fast-paced, addictive and has a brilliant plot. In addition to the police procedures (which give a real insight into hierarchy and budget cuts) there's also emotion with loneliness and grief running throughout and great development of the characters within the team. I look forward to many more Kat and Lock books.

My thanks to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster UK for an advance copy in return for an honest review.
