Does time ever truly heal an aching heart?
DI Katy Foster and her partner, DS Charlie Simpkins arrive at a crime scene where the victim has been torched in his own vehicle.
But who is the killer and what is their motive?
Over the course of a week, several more men are murdered and Katy is put under severe stress to find the culprit when clues are sparse and the crimes are happening frequently.
Until finally, a suspect emerges with a heartbreaking motive and a truly wicked agenda.
Giving up their weekend off to try to locate the suspect, leaves Katy and Charlie reeling when a child goes missing in connection with the investigation.
With a child’s fate in their hands, Katy and Charlie are thrust into a dangerous race against the clock.
Another really engaging case for Katy and Charlie to work on.
In fact it take a while for the police to work out what was made obvious to the reader, and this time we also got to know the killer's name, motives, family life and glimpses into their mind too. Which is rather fascinating if not just slightly disturbing,.
What interests me most about this series is the dynamics between Katy and Charlie and seeing how they evolve, and after years of Katy being in Lorne's shadow it is still a few books in so weird to see her as the more experienced, dominant detective of the partnership.
And the insights into Katy and AJ's relationship, are startling to someone who has been rooting for them for well I lose track of how many books by now!
This is a book well and truly set in 2021 and has a few references to last year, and also impressively mentioning President Biden, so always nice to see its up to date. Apparently this has proven that I can cope with references to the pandemic in crime books, but not in the other genres I tend to read, probably due to expectation, which is a bit of a relief for me.
I always enjoying seeing just what dastardly crimes M. A. Comley will come up with next for her villains and I really did enjoy seeing Katy and Charlie trying to solve this one.
Another good addition to this series.
Thank you to the author for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
