A killer with a gruesome agenda.

A detective on a mission to prevent the killer from taking more lives.

A member of the team in danger whose life is left hanging in the balance.

When Hugh Blake is involved in a fatal accident outside his home, DI Sara Ramsey is left scratching her head, wondering if the incident was a simple accident or a senseless murder.

With no clues or evidence found at the crime scene, Sara and her team’s frustration mounts, that is…

Until the killer strikes again, this time closer to home.

Sara is forced to put her own life on the line as she tries to flush out the person committing these heinous random crimes before time runs out for a member of her team.

What can I say about M A Comley and her latest D I Sara Ramsay book, that I haven't already said in the previous 18 reviews? Literally everything I have already said about this series is still completely and utterly relevant... but possibly needs a multiplier of at least 10 on it, as this book was fantabulous. 

From the prologue which really set things up so well, and gives us the reader an insight that it takes the police a long while to work out, to the despicable nature of the murderer, and the action packed finale this is a  book that took over my life today, as I was reading it. 

I couldn't turn the pages fast enough, I needed to constantly know what has happening and whether Sara and Carla had come up with anything for any of the rapidly rising case count. 

It's certainly a tough one for them to solve with very little evidence.  

Underlying the action is what is clearly a relevant commentary on the state of various aspects of the UK at the moment including the shocking wait times for ambulances, and also the cost of living crisis, which makes it rather relevant too. 

I just couldn't get enough of this fan-dabby-dozie of a book! Brilliant as always, and I'm already looking forward to book 20, and it's not often I will stick with a series for that many books 

Thank you to the author for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
