Splinter in the Blood by Ashley Dyer

3.0

I won a copy on Goodreads.

This book was not what I thought it would be. It starts with a woman in a man's apartment clearing up a crime scene before getting into the meat of the story of a serial killer, tattooing the women he's taken.

Due to the way the story began I had one thought about Ruth Lakes and it took a long time, nearly the entire book to change the way I viewed her. It made the reading of the book a bit off, but in a good way. Almost like walking through a fun house where the floors slant and you're not entire sure where to put your feet.

For a debut author it's a strong first book and I can't wait to read the next book in the series. Really well done!
