I can't help myself. I love Kim Stone. I love her team. The mysteries are always interesting - even if the reveals can sometimes be a bit far-fetched in how Kim figures them out. The last time I was this pleased with a mystery series, it was Tracy Crosswhite by Robert Dugoni. But Kim Stone and crew are my favorite. I've already purchased the next in the series and am ready to dive in.

Another outstanding book from Angela Marsons, I don't know how she does it but every book gets better and better. Really enjoyed this and getting to know D.I. Kim Stone in more detail. If you liked the first two books in the series you will definitely enjoy this one.

I felt greedy with this, as I couldn't get enough of it, I read it on my Kindle app whilst walking up the street, on the train and any other time I could possibly get to read it.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for giving me an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
This is the first book I read by Angela Marsons, but it's the third one in the D. I. Kim Stone series.
It's a fast paced crime-thriller, and it was a complete surprise. I had read very good reviews for this author, but I wasn't expecting her to be so good. Don't get me wrong, it's just that I'm a bit sceptic.
Kim Stone is stubborn, hard working and very smart. She has no family, almost no friends, and work is her life, but you can't help liking and admiring her character. When two little girls go missing, Kim ties the case with an abduction that happened a year before and leaves no stone unturned to find them.
What made the book so easy for me to read is that it's divided in 113 small chapters, which make the pages fly. I just couldn't put it down. Now I have to read the other two books in the series, which I'm sure will be as good or even better than this one.
