I’m psychologist Dr Emy Rose, but that’s not my real name.

I work with serial killers who've hidden their victims. My job is to find the bodies - and I'm kind of awesome at it.

The trick is to get inside these murderers' minds. And there's one in particular I'm hellbent on breaking.

Why? None of your business! Just know, I'll stop at nothing to read that killer's mind...

Tam Barnett's brilliant new novel will get into your head and under your skin...

OMG what did I just read? Just Wow! 

Completely and utterly unputdownable! 

And just what on earth goes through the mind of this author when they come up with these characters and stories as this was brilliant, but dark and twisted too in places. 

I loved the premise and the execution was superb.  I couldn't' get enough of this story,.  I was hoping for justice for Emy and her mother, as well as all the other families that she was hoping to help.

But trying to manipulate serial killers to give up their secrets is a lot easier said than done, especially when there is an interfering politician on the warpath too 

This is the second book I've now read from this author and I can't wait for me.  I am loving their work so much, - I just hope I can sleep tonight after those final scenes!

Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
