The third book in the Inspector Henley Trilogy. A man has spent twenty five years in prison for a series of murders he says he didn’t commit. Henley has a personal link to one of the victims. Was the original investigation conducted honestly or were her peers involved in corruption? If this man is innocent is the real killer still at large?
This book is fast!!! Darting back to the original murders in the mid 90s and then back to present day. Matheson writes with such a depth of knowledge but stops short of it becoming boring or overly procedural. There is some quite vivid descriptions of murder, so if you are a tad squeamish be aware.
She pulls the reader right into the investigation and once you start reading you won’t be able to stop. Henley’s backstory continues and you can’t help but feel empathy with all her conflicts.
One of my favourite authors at the moment. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.
