TW ⚠️: Aspects of racism and bullying.
I requested a digital advanced readers copy from NetGalley and William Morrow and providing my opinion voluntarily and unbiased.
Synopsis: When she was fifteen years old, Laughton Rees witnessed the brutal murder of her mother by a masked killer—and barely escape with her own life. Now a successful forensics professor, Laughton’s focused on her daughter and her work—but the past isn’t done with her. When Laughton’s book about criminal investigation is found at the scene of a violent murder, the Met police officer in charge of the case asks for her help. The crime scene has some disturbingly personal elements for Laughton, and she can’t shake the feeling that someone is sending her a message. After all these years, has the monster who murdered her mother come back for her?
My Thoughts: The story is narrated by Laughton, Khan (DCI leading investigation), and Slade (ruthless tabloid reporter), from their own perspectives. The characters are so well developed with layers of depth, yet mysterious, emotional, and intriguing. The author’s writing style was chilling, suspenseful, twisty, complex, and the storyline builds with tension and a twisty plot that has complex layers. I loved how each chapter ends in cliffhanger, drawing you to immediately proceed to the next chapter, regardless if it is 2am. A twisty, fast paced, page turning novel from Toyne that will keep you absorbed from cover to cover. While a plot is always important to a thrilling read, this novel not only has a great plot but focuses on the characters. This is my first read from Toyne but will not be my last, I really enjoyed this author’s writing style and will be reading more from Toyne. I highly recommend that you preorder this book that releases on Tuesday!!
