A review by mpr2000
Tastes Like Fear by Sarah Hilary

5.0

There's been a car accident, but the girl who caused it has disappeared... Who is she? Why was she running? Is she injured? There are a lot of questions, and D.I. Marnie Rome will have to answer all of them, in the most lonely case she will ever face...
In this book you will read a quite different case, there are some girls missing, they have escaped from home, searching for something different, a new family... until they found Harm. He wants them on his family, they just have to follow a few simple rules... everything will seem perfect until it will be too late...
Reading D.I. Marnie Rome cases is always a unique experience, the cases are always entangled and with some unexpected twists. You never know who the murderer is till the end of the book! I normally guess who is the murderer since the beginning but in all Sarah's books, I never know who could be the "bad", and I love it!
Sarah Hilary books are never predictable, she always surprises me with her gripping but intelligent cases, making me want for more. I am not surprised that she has won the Theakstons Old Peculier for the crime novel of the year.
I think every crime lover has to read at least one of Sarah Hilary books, they are unforgettable and addictive.
Are you searching for a new family? Harm is waiting for you...
