Thank you to bookouture for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 

Kelly is a doctor and a single mother, living on a small Scottish island with her adult daughter, Lauren. Kelly receives a terrifying message that her daughter has been kidnapped and being held for ransom - but they only want one thing. Kelly has to kill one of her patients. 

The pace and story kept me hooked, with flashbacks throughout feeding more and more information about Kelly’s past. There were lots of twists and turns, some of which I didn’t see coming! 

Kelly wasn’t the easiest main character to warm to, but I still found I couldn’t put this book down. I can see why J M Dalgliesh is so popular!
