The Keeper by Alastair Gunn
4.0
Back with Antonia for the third novel in the series the book begins with the discovery of a body buried in a shallow grave. Antonia and her team work to identify the victim and the killer and try to understand just why the killer keeps the victim for 24 hours before killing them. The case becomes more urgent as more bodies are discovered, the killer is playing a game and the police are losing.
Another great crime novel from Alastair Gunn, the case kept me gripped but one of the things I think I enjoy most about this series is the realism – Antonia was brutally attacked at the end of the first novel and while some series would have seen their main character brush it off and move on by the next book this series shows Antonia still struggling and being forced to take her counselling sessions seriously.
Once again Alastair Gunn finishes the story with a bang, he really is fantastic at the final act twist!
