The truth hides in the darkest places.

When two prominent members of the Hereford community are found murdered in chillingly distinct ways, DI Sara Ramsey and DS Carla Jameson are thrust into a case as twisted as it is deadly. As the body count rises, the killer’s cryptic messages point to a hidden truth buried in the past, a truth someone will do anything to avenge.

With time running out, Sara and her team must navigate a web of lies and betrayal, where every clue brings them closer to a dangerous enemy. But in a town where no one is who they seem, exposing the truth could cost them everything.

Another totally unputdownable book from this fabulous author. 

And another fresh feeling story in this long running series. It is always great to join DI Sara Ramsey on a new case, and this time we also see her getting to know a new DCI, and Carla's dad is having health issues too. 

Add in a case that may have a connection to one of the team, and that they are positive there is a serial killer at play, despite a variety of killing methods, which seemed fairly inventive. 

It's definitely a tricky case and my only prediction was thankfully totally off the mark. I had no idea who the murderer was, and I was willing Sara and her team on to work it out, despite the lack of evidence. 

This was totally gripping and was really quick to read and is another great instalment in this fabulous series. 

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