glennamy · 10/11/2016 14:27

Loved this story, it was gripping and had hooked from the start. Will look for further books from this author! :)

glennamy · 10/11/2016 14:24

This book is amazing, right up my street, I just loved the action and the suspense... I was glued to it with all my spare time :)

maryandbuzz1 · 10/11/2016 13:44

I was hooked as soon as I picked it up. It was fast moving and had me on edge the whole way through. Definitely an author I would look out for again.

fifimummy · 10/11/2016 12:56

I only really get a chance to read after I get into bed, & other half is on night shifts, so the gory bits where if i'm being honest a bit gruesome for me on my own Blush
But I was gripped by the storyline, and thought it was brilliantly written (just try not to read it in the house by yourself if you get nervy like me Wink

iut044 · 10/11/2016 12:29

Looks good.

soph0077 · 10/11/2016 12:03

I was absolutely hooked with this one (especially after reading a few dud books recently)!

moosexxx · 10/11/2016 11:48

I enjoyed the book.
It started off very well, and i particularly enjoyed and understood the actions of the main character, Lucy.
However, towards the end of the book, some of the coincidences stretched my 'suspension of disbelief' a little too far.
And i did feel the conduct of Lucy towards her mother did not run true.
But i did enjoy the book, and the writing, and will read the next novel in the series. And indeed any more Paul Finch books that come my way.

jazzitup · 10/11/2016 11:34

Looking forward to this

AngelwingsPetlamb · 10/11/2016 10:47

I did not receive a free copy of this book but I would definitely recommend it if you love a fast paced, gritty thriller. It was my first book by Paul Finch but I really want to read more now, and I loved Lucy the PC in this one, so I hope he brings her into another tale or two.
It's dark, exciting, tense and unputdownable, you will be reading it whenever you get a minute to find out what happens next.
Not for the faint hearted though.

hiddenmichelle · 10/11/2016 10:11

I found it quite hard to get into (but I often do with any new book) but once I was "into" it it gripped me till the end. read it!

kimbers85 · 10/11/2016 09:30

love this book. would recommend to friends and family x

juju3 · 10/11/2016 09:23

Not my kind of book but well written

janeyf1 · 10/11/2016 09:04

This is just my sort of book, I love thrillers so am sure to be gripped by this one

jandoc · 10/11/2016 09:03

I haven't started reading it yet but I hope to get to it soon.

ThemisA · 10/11/2016 08:27

No, I haven't read it yet but it is on my Christmas wish list. I absolutely adore thrillers and so do many of my friends so we always share and discuss them on our dog walks

Lisapaige24 · 10/11/2016 08:17

I loved this book the main character pc Lucy Clayburn was likeable if not a little frustrating at times but the twist and turns had me on the edge of my seat. it makes a change having a female serial killer but it was very believable because of the scene it was set in the sex trade in greater Manchester and having the strong female heroine that just wants to climb the ranks and make Detective and is willing to do what it takes to catch Jill Ripper (serial killer)in order to achieve her goal .

vonniebab2 · 10/11/2016 08:11

Really enjoyed the book, just my type of reading!

amyhalliday1 · 10/11/2016 07:29

Really dark and gripping
