Review: A fabulous debut crime novel
Rating: 5 out of 5

I found it hard to put this fast-paced, intriguing, crime thriller down. The author explores grim issues with a deft hand, and we can even empathize with the brutal killer. The darkness of the crimes at the heart of the novel is softened by the warmth and humanity of the investigating officer, DI Paolo Storey. The sprinkling of hints and the whiff of red herrings kept me absorbed until the final, harrowing conclusion. The twist is unexpected, the story original and I look forward to the next one.
