Blood Lines by Angela Marsons
4.0
I received a free copy of this title from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. This is the 5th book in the D.I. Kim Stone series. I have read the first Kim Stone book and enjoyed it but fell behind on the series so I am reading this out-of-order.
Kim Stone is reconnected with an old nemesis, sociopath Dr. Alex Thorne, whilst she is in the midst of another case. D.I. Stone is pushed and pulled between the current murder case and the trouble that Dr. Thorne is stirring up.
This was a great read. Thrilling and interesting, with a wealth of engaging characters, it kept me turning the pages long after I should have gone to sleep. I was fascinated by the workings of Dr. Thorne’s mind and what she was able to achieve through her machinations while “safely” behind bars. The resolution of D.I. Stone’s mother’s storyline played out well and gave reader’s a real understanding of D.I. Stone and what drives her as a person and an officer.
The main murder case storyline highlighted the importance of the team as a unit and gave time to each of the members. There were red herrings and multiple leads that the team waded through before being able to tie it all together in a “down to the wire” finish.
I would highly recommend this and fully intend to go back and read the other books in the series.
