I’ve read/ listened to several others in the series, but not in order. For me the author nails a modern crime thriller, great pace, plenty of tension, some action, a lot of emotional content, she manages to cut out the boring procedural elements of modern police work. 

In this book women are being targeted and k*lled. We get various points of view, seeing some very troubled individuals, the reader initially doesn’t know who they all are, or how they are connected. 

The characters are very well crafted and fleshed with a lot of psychological content in amongst the procedural. It’s the depth of the characters and their complicated lives that give this so much appeal for me. 

Another excellent offering from an author who is fast becoming a favourite for me. If you enjoy audiobooks I can highly recommend them.
