3.5
A teenage girl is abducted and subjected to a terrifying ordeal and is later found wandering the streets in a distressed state. She refuses to press charges but enough details come out for DI Fawley to recognise the signature of someone he put away years before, who is still in prison. Is this a copycat or something more worrying. Then a second girl is abducted and it is a race against time to find the person responsible.
The fourth book in the DI Fawley series takes in the murky online world of Incels, and it's never a pleasant experience to read how much they hate women. There's also the labyrinthine world of female teenage friendship to contend with which can be a minefield. Although it didn't hold my attention like the previous two books did, it was still an above average read. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4
Thanks to NetGalley and publishers, Penguin Books (UK), for the opportunity to read an ARC. I am voluntarily giving an honest review
