Wow what a fantastic book, absolutely loved every page! This book was thrilling and a roller coaster of ups and downs and twists and turns. It kept me entertained and engaged from page one right through to the end. Read it in one sitting, it was fabulous. Totally deserves five stars.

This book made me realize I love solving crimes through the detective's point of view on television more. The story was good, the dead ends and twists were very entertaining and I was surprised by the culprit. However, I was never fully invested in this. 
I did not read the previous books in the series, which might have something to do with it. I might go back to book 1 since I found the writing and the complexity of the story very well done and entertaining.

Een heerlijke page turner met meerdere POV'S zoals we van deze auteur gewend zijn.
Inspecteur Harte's persoonlijke ontwikkeling stond in dit deel wat op de achtergrond, maar dat was helemaal niet erg. Er is namelijk een twist in de verhaallijn waardoor een ander vertrouwd personage in de schijnwerpers komt te staan...

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Thank you to Bookouture for my copy of this book via Netgalley and for letting me take part in this tour. I am a huge fan of Gina Harte so I was very excited to see what the next installment held.

This case had so many dead ends and false starts. No one told the damn truth about anything so I was suspicious of almost everyone. I was tense for pretty much the whole book. This person lived in the shadows and in plain sight. He seems pretty normal on the surface. But like Gina says so do a lot of killers. If I was still a young girl living alone I think this book would have seriously creeped me out. The stalking and the tricks he played on these characters by the killer make me shiver.

Carla did an excellent job of holding me in suspense. The story is well thought out and the fast pace was perfect. I felt like I was in that station and almost part of the team. I was as invested as they were in the case.

This was a tense but thrilling ride and I can’t wait for the next book!
