Perfect Remains by Helen Sarah Fields
5.0
Where do I start with this masterpiece? I started this book for my facebook group monthly pick (more about that later). Now crime and thriller books are not my normal genre. However, with this new blogging path I am on I decided to venture outside my comfort zone. By gosh am I glad that I did. My toes were actually curling as read the first few chapters. I don't do spoilers so don't worry you can read on. The book is set in Edinburgh which is my home City. It was appealing to me to be able to see in mind exactly the street or place that's mentioned in the book. I was transported there and it made it just that wee bit more creepy if that is even possible.
In the past with some crime books, I have had to skim read the descriptive parts of a killing or attack. Because it would read like a textbook and I would zone out. NOT with this book, Helen Fields has a unique quality of keeping things real and exciting. No skimming required, in fact, you want more and more of the book.
My favourite character was Callanach, who we meet right from the start. His own personal demons, haunt him throughout the book and this adds even more depth and storytelling.
The cover is beautiful and there are three variations out and about I think. I was very lucky to meet Helen at an event in Edinburgh, at the famous Blackwell's Book Store.
