I received a free copy of this book as part of the Novel Suspects Insiders Club.
The book starts as blood spatter expert Doctor Claudia O’Sheil is about to take the podium at an event to talk about the famous murder case, The Incident at Chester Terrace, which happened the previous year. Her forensic research was the main reason why a person was convicted of the crime.
But here's what has been keeping Claudia awake at night: the evidence was wrong, which means that her life's work is flawed. She already suspects two people had been killed to stop this becoming public. Is she next? Is her family safe? Will she be able to tell the truth?
I really like Denise Mina's books and I love the way she writes her characters. Claudia is flawed and up until the last possible moment, we are not sure what she's going to do with the information that she's got. Will she play along, save her career and let a murderer walk free? Or will she tell the truth and destroy many lives, including hers?
