As usual Helen had me gripped from the start....Downloaded and read in one go....Could not put it down, thought a few times that I knew what was happening and then as usual the red herring threw me. I am so glad that I discovered this author as have loved every single book that she has written and she never disappoints with the descriptions of the crime scenes, making them graphic enough for me to be able to continue reading without giving me nightmares. This is a brilliant start to what will hopefully be a new series of novels about Morgan as there is so much more that she can and I am sure will do. Congratulations Helen and hurry up with the next instalment please.

One of those rare books that really is unputdownable. A must read.
The story starts with the introductory scene of Detective Morgan Brookes who's happy to have an opportunity to work in the beautiful Lake District but suddenly her radio buzzed and she has to go on her duty.
There's an IR on Lake View on Easdale Road, Grasmere. A possible suicide what they're calling that.
A body of a woman by the name of ‘Olivia Potter' is found hanging in her front garden by Harrison who's her daughter's boyfriend and he tells Morgan that he found it ten minutes ago.
She has two daughters and a husband but they're nowhere to be seen. Clueless detective searched in every room of the house and got nothing but frustration. Then searched basement and viola here they're, cold and lifeless but one girl is still breathing.
With no lead to move forward, Brooke vowed to catch the monster and search in the old police records and founds a case where a family was murdered in the same house but the killer was never caught. And now Olivia's family is killed in the same house. Is the killer same? Why he killed Olivia's family? She was searching thoroughly and then on the scene of the crime another body is found.
Are they all connected? If yes then how? Morgan really has to find that killer before he strikes again. Will she be able to solve the case? Or killer will be never arrested?
You have to read this awesomely good psychological thriller to know the answers to that questions which are teasing your mind.
Every character of this book is lovable. I loved Dan, Ben, Morgan, Harrison and The Killer. Other supporting characters are very good too.
Narration of the story is intersting, simple and flawless.
I'll definitely share this book with my fellow Authors Bloggers Followers Friends and Family. And I'm sure that Amazon will be on fire on 1st September. Eagerly waiting for the release of this book.
Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for giving me an advance copy of this awesome psychological thriller.

I received a copy of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley.
2.5* rounded up. I suppose this would be described as a police procedural, although I hope the actual police don't operate like those in this novel. The story held my interest throughout, although I thought the ending was slightly rushed. The 'romance' creeped me out a little, and I spent most of the novel rolling my eyes at the incompetence, unprofessionalism, insubordination etc etc displayed by our plucky heroine and her colleagues.
Still, a pleasant enough way to spend a few hours.

Wow oh wow!! This book has definitely given me all the feels, how can I possibly write a review which shows how much I have enjoyed this book?
I'll start by saying that this is my first read by this author, but I am now a converted fan and cannot wait to read more of her books. I am also excited for the next in this series.
This book is filled with suspense and mystery. I have definitely been kept guessing from very early on. The plot develops quickly which is completely enthralling and makes this a very addictive read.
I have devoured this gem in just one sitting. It has completely pulled me in and been utterly impossible to put down. I love Morgan, she's a fantastic protagonist and I truly cannot wait for the next instalment.
This is completely unique and unpredictable, at points I've literally shivered. The author has created a clear image and parts of this have been quite sinister. Please don't judge me- but I have loved it!!
A definite strong five star read and one which is deserving of higher. I highly recommend this book.
