Brilliant novel with great characterisation throughout. Careful sharing of information related to all characters to keep the reader guessing

I was intrigued by this book because of the title and the front cover. I didn't even realise it was part of a series but I was still able to read and enjoy it regardless.
I think one of the main reasons I liked this book so much is because I liked the main character and was interested in the parts about her personal life as well as the interesting case she was working on.
The first 80% of the book was a little slow but still interested me and I really had no idea who the abuser could be. The last 20% was brilliant and much more faced paced. After reading I am keen to read others in the series.
Thanks for Netgalley for allowing me to read a free ecopy.
