Rating: 5 out of 5

The main character in Julie Elizabeth Powell's first murder mystery is Dr Anne Blake. She is a psychiatrist, who is dedicated to her work. She cares for her patients, colleagues and friends wholeheartedly and worries that she is neglecting her friends as she becomes more deeply involved with her work. She is horrified to be told that she is the link in a series of murders, not worrying about her own safety, but that of those she knows.This well constructed story moves at a fast pace and I found it to be a compelling and entertaining read. It was refreshing to come across a murder mystery that was not full of blood and gore, but was certainly not short on intrigue and suspense.I thoroughly enjoyed Julie Elizabeth Powell's foray into murder - in fact, I wished the book had been longer!
