Splinter in the Blood by Ashley Dyer
5.0
"He stopped, the color drained from his face, the self-pity and self-justification replaced by a look of horror. 'Do you think we shoved her into the path of the psycho who killed her?'"
Five women have been murdered, their bodies altered and left artfully staged, the work of the so-called "Thorn Killer". And when Detective Greg Carver, the person in charge and obsessed with finding the murderer, is shot in his own home, his partner Ruth Lake destroys the evidence at the crime scene and begins to lie. Why?
A nerve-wracking psychological thriller, that has more twists and turns than a roller-coaster, Splinter in the Blood keeps you on edge. I couldn't put this book down after reading the first page, burning through it in a single sitting. Every few chapters I guessed at the identity of the Thorn Killer, and I was wrong on all counts. This book had my heart racing, in the best way possible. For anyone who enjoys thrillers, or that likes playing detective as the clues reveal themselves, this is definitely the book for you.
