Lost by Sharon Bolton

3.0

Lacey Flint is on extended leave following the events detailed in Sacrifice. A serial killer is on the loose in South London, killing pre-teen boys, draining them of their blood, and 11-year old Barney is worried about his black-outs. Lacey does her best to avoid the search but gets sucked into it because Barney is her next-door neighbor. Dana Tulloch is in charge of the investigation and Mark Joesbury is assisting. Lacey and Mark are still dancing around their mutual attraction, but Lacey is too fragile to make a commitment. Bodies keep floating in the Thames and the forensic psychiatrists are baffled and cannot get a clear picture of the perpetrator. The denouncement is breath-taking, but I felt the rest of the book was flat.
