I read this some time ago and noticed I hadn’t put a review up – although I can remember writing it! Who knows! I had to share it though as it was a fantastic read!

The perfect thriller with everything you want – grim discoveries, action, suspense and fab characters. The twists and turns kept coming and the book didn’t let up from start to end. The central character of Wolf is a great one and he would be amazing on TV or in film.

Daniel Cole’s debut is fantastic and I will be reading more from him. Not for the fainthearted – there us quite a body count which does get rather gruesome – but thriller fans will love it.

I'd call this more of a detective book than a thriller but it IS disturbing and gripping and will keep you hooked til the end!

I'll admit that I was kind of drawn to this because of the gruesome premise of a body actually being made of 6 pieces of different murder victims. This is much grimmer than my usual reads (I love cosy and historical crime usually), but I thought this was a really interesting idea.

I wasn't disappointed - the police detectives in this novel have to not only work out who the 6 original victims were, but are then engaged in a race against time to save the murderer's next targets, helpfully sent as a list to the national media. This gave the book an ongoing tension and made me race through it to find out what happened. Yes, it's pretty gory, but the suspense and the interesting dynamics of the police team, and especially the character of Wolf Fawkes, made up for the nasty bits.

Overall, I would recommend this if you like contemporary detective fiction, especially that with a thriller edge. Totally compelling, albeit a bit gruesome.
