The Stolen Ones by Richard Montanari
4.0
The story links back to a serial killer who was previously carrying out murders in other countries and has passed this proclivity on to another country.
From the start we are introduced to the killer which of course the detectives and unaware of. This added character helps with the darkness of the killer and really makes them seem threatening. It links to the idea of dream therapy throughout the book.
I like the main detectives, I felt they were believable and human. I was pleasantly surprised when the current mystery was linked to a previous case.
Overall the case was well thought out, made sense and kept you hooked.
My reason for 4 star is just down to the ending which I felt was a little rushed and the lack of emphasis on the second killer. I actually had to flick back through the book to remember who they were.
