The Killing Kind
by Jane Casey
Oooh this is so close to being a legal thriller, but not quite. Jane Casey is a barrister who's dealt with many tricky cases, including one of her own clients - John Webster - turning into a stalker.
One day a colleague of hers is killed, knocked down by a bus. Jane is convinced she was the intended victim and that John might be back. But there's no real evidence and she ends up with DC Adam Nash being the only one left who's willing to look into what's happening.
Soon enough, bodies and tension begin to build up. John reappears - but this time he says Jane can trust him, and if she can't then she might end up dead too. What is Jane to do?
There's lots of twists and turns in this tale, as you might expect, and the tension ratchets up nicely during the course of the book. Jane does make a few dubious decisions (and it nearly heads to ridiculous a couple of times), but she's under a lot of pressure and doesn't really have anyone in her life she can trust. An enjoyable read.
3.5 rounded up to 4
