I found this a bit slow to start but there was certainly a lot going on! Once you get the hang of all the sub plots and all the characters then it is an engaging and interesting read. It's certainly cleverly written and it's quite a quick read but it is easy to lose track initially. Sometimes I think simple is better but that's not to say its not a good book, it just wasn't to my taste.

This book was not for me unfortunately so I was unable to finish it. I didn’t enjoy the part of it I did get to read but I think a lot of people will. I will rate this 4 stars for fairness as I was unable to finish it. Thanks

▫️ This one is an okay read, but I did find I was skim reading some of it 😭
▫️the twists felt a little predictable, and not hugely thrilling...
▫️I did enjoy the conversational type writing style, it made the book feel a bit more friendly
▫️This is another read, with unanswered questions, maybe I want a bit too much, but I feel like the ending was rushed and left me feeling like I didn't really understand what had happened and why 🤷🏼‍♀️. ▫️The Kendrick's daughter was murdered and abducted and it becomes a side story, rather than a main thread. I think a lot more can have been done with that storyline, and could have turned this into a great thriller.
▫️I'd recommended this one to people newer to the thriller genre 🔪

Daniel Kendrick's wife, Fay, has gone missing after a massive argument.
His baby daughter was abducted and murdered a few months before, and he is frantic. He feels that the police are not doing enough to find her,and they suspect him of killing her, instead of one of her psychopathic patients.
There is a serial killer on the loose and Daniel prays that Fay is not a victim.

I enjoyed this novel, it kept me on the edge of my seat. I felt sorry for Daniel, as he was truly frantic about his wife's disappearance.
Every one of Fay's patients is a suspect, and while I worked out the twist quite early in the book, it was nevertheless a very good, dark twist.

I would like to read more of this author's work.
However, there are quite a few grammatical errors, and typos.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This thriller was pretty good! At first, it was a little confusing with all the characters and the timeline jumps, but once you get it figured out, the story line is great. It doesn't take long to find out how everyone is intertwined. I liked that there really weren't any slow spots in the book because it made it hard to put down. I also enjoyed that there were several plot lines running on top of each other but that all came together in the end. All in all, a great thriller.

A very good book, it kept me going until the very end and I really enjoyed it, I’m looking forward to seeing what is next from the author, keep it up

I could not get through this book. I was so looking forward to it based on the description, but I couldn’t get past the third person narrative. It made it feel very detached. I think it would have been much more gripping had it been written from the main character’s point of view. I may go back and try it again sometime, but right now it just wasn’t for me.

There is a lot to like in this action packed thriller. The details of surgical processes are fascinating and I loved the inclusion of the three pets as supporting characters. There are several strands to the plot, none of which are very surprising, but they are still quite well executed. The author includes a few random incidents which don’t really lead anywhere and seem a bit unnecessary. There is also an annoying and almost constant focus on what the protagonist is eating. The book concludes without resolving the challenge of what will happen to the protagonist’s wife (can’t really say more without spoiling the story) so I wonder if there will be another book to tie things up.

His daughter's dead, his wife's gone missing and there's a serial killer on the run. Daniel Kendrick must face the truth – and there's no place to hide...

For a debut novel this is definitely one that grabbed my attention from the very beginning. If you like your books about serial killers this is one that I can highly recommend. I must say my initial thought was oh no, not another serial killer book but I took a chance on this one and was very glad I did

I found the book a little slow to begin with and there were a couple of places where my attention may have lagged but all the parts in between more than make up for it. There are a lot of characters and in the beginning I was trying to understand how all of them could influence the story but they all play their part and it works very well. The main story once it gets going moves really quickly and I was then totally invested in the story. Lots of twists that keep you engaged and just the right amount of tension lurking in the background at all times.

This is a fabulous book and one I would recommend to other thriller readers. After reading this book I will be looking forward to other books of this genre by Ruth Searle. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of the book, all opinions are my own.

Great book! This book was awesome! It had a bit of everything! It had suspense, intrigue, action, murder, mystery, serial killers, Revenge, and some crazy twists and turns! The storyline was very interesting and kept me glued to my Kindle! I highly recommend reading this book and series they're well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

A really good read. It was slow to start with but then I couldn't put it down. Twisty and gripping. 4*.

Searle's latest book had me intrigued by the mystery and I quickly became invested in the main characters. Well done! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. Four stars.

I was unfortunately not the right reader for this book.
It was an easy read, and it had quite a few twists in the plots, I personally didn't enjoy the writing style.

After the death of his daughter, Daniel doesn't think things can get much worse. Then his wife disappears and he is suspected of murdering her. In addition, there is a serial killer on the loose.

This one really jumps in right away to action. I think it could've eased me in a bit more to get acclimated to the characters.
