This was such a phenomenal start to a new crime series, I really enjoyed DI Kennedy's first foray into mystery.
She's a seasoned DI with a new partner and her own rumoured reputation to contend with and that makes the investigation that much more difficult to pursue.
Boys have gone missing, they always do, it's 'what boys do' but when one body appears in a gruesome discovery, DI Kennedy is put on the trail to discover who murdered him and if there will be more.
While Kennedy is on the case, there's another who's also sorting their own investigation, Michael was Nichol's social worker and when he misses meeting the boy and he goes missing, Michael begins to fear for the teen's life. Is Nichol the murderer's next victim?
Halliday has a good grasp on the violence and unease to write about this sort of case, it was creepy and addictive and I could hardly put it down at times. I just wanted to keep knowing what was going to happen next. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for my honest opinion, my full review will be up on my blog as part of the tour.
