About the Book

‘Hugely confident … harrowing, visceral … recommended’ Ian Rankin on Dead Inside

A brutal murder…

When a burned body is found with its teeth missing, DC Maggie Jamieson discovers that the victim may be the husband of one of her probation colleagues.

As the body count rises, the team becomes increasingly baffled by how the victims could possibly be connected until a clue leads them to a historical case that was never prosecuted.

My Review

The fifth book in the Maggie Jamieson and they are just getting better and better.

I’m really enjoying this series, easy to read, shortish chapters which keep a great pace and the book is gritty.

There’s a murderer out there but can Maggie find out who it is before anyone else dies. Her and her team work closely with different departments to get to the bottom of these crimes and it’s good to see the relationships and how they work together. Maggie is a strong character who I like.

Quite a dark story with parts that made me feel the pain.

The characters are really building now as we get to know more about them. I love this series and can’t wait for the next one.
