This book was very well written and DCI Yorke is a formidable officer. The Ray family is twisted and dark, with secrets that should have been told long ago. Revenge, mayhem and evil.. Not for the faint of heart.

Thank you NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the eARC.
Wow, this was some read! Couldn't put it down and just loved it. Hope the 2nd book in this new series is published very soon.
DCI Micheal Yorke and his team are very likeable, but you can't say the same thing about the Ray family...they are seriously nasty. The action starts with the kidnapping of 12-year old Paul Ray and is quickly followed by the disappearance of another family member. Another Ray is a cold killer...it's therefore not easy to have any empathy for the Ray family.
There are parts that are horrifying, but mostly left to your imagination, which I liked. The story is compelling, fast paced and well written, definitely a must read and highly recommended.

My first read by this author. 12 year old Paul disappears and DCI Michael Yorke thinks local recently released local murderer Thomas Ray may have taken him. Then a discovery makes that theory impossible so DCI Yorke must look again.
I found the story all absorbing from the start the pace kept up and carried me with it. It laid out the gory detail and the nastiness of some of the characters without sugar coating which I loved to see.
I did not particularly warm to any of the characters but was gripped by it and would recommend.

I enjoyed reading this book. It had a good story to it. I liked the variety of characters in it. I hope to read more books by this author.
