I really loved the way alle three books is intertwined in the final installment. But... as much as I loved it, I just found it a bit too far fetched maybe? I can't find the right word but... okay I'm gonna spoil from here on. 
Her DNA and so on was all over the trunk of Jasons car, and don't even get med started on the duct tape. I just don'  get, why nobody, like NOBODY, wouldn't believe her. He had the trophies in his home for God's sake! It's practically being handed to the police. And DI Hawkins ist not stupid, so he would have figured it out! So I feel like the last 200 pages or so was just fluff.
But it's still a really good story and I want to read the first books again to find the clues that I've missed!
