Incredible, those plot twists were very unexpected and so good, I can't wait to read The Kill List

This is far better than the first book. An intricate plot with lots of good police work (at least, the sort of police work they do in crime fiction), banter and of course there is darkness as well. The commentary on racism didn't go unappreciated either and I continue to love the diverse cast of these books, which is not something
that I tend to see in police procedurals.

Not as good as The Jigsaw Man but good! So much to keep track of but it kept me interested!!

I thought this was an excellent police procedural. The main characters, the investigative team, are smart and fully developed characters with personal lives that are realistic but also don’t overwhelm the story. The only two detractions I have for this book are that 1) the source of the deaths, exorcisms to deal with mental illness is gruesome and abhorrent to read about and 2) there was a lot of reference to what happened in the first book, which I haven’t read yet and probably won’t read because I know whodunnit. But these aren’t enough to put me off the book and I eagerly await the next in the series!

Thank you Hanover Square Press for my review copy.
While reading this book I just knew I had it all figured out and Nadine Matheson politely humbled me.
