Serial Killer, Andrew Streeter, brutally murdered five people back in the mid-90s.  Celebrated DCI Harry Rhimes was the arresting officer.  The evidence was cut and dry, Streeter even had a ‘kill list’ of victims at his home, so off to prison he went.  
 
But when is anything ever that simple?  Now, decades later new evidence has come to light – the investigation was corrupt.  As a result Streeter is exonerated.  DI Henley is outraged, Rhimes was her old boss.  He’s no longer alive to defend himself.  However, when more murders matching the same hideous MO start up, it’s clear they had the wrong man.  Rhimes can’t be bent, can he?
 
Putting their emotions and personal feelings to one side, Henley and her team are tasked with reopening the murders because the original killer is out there, and he has a new kill list ..
 
I really enjoyed this one. I’ve read a few police procedurals lately and Matheson sure knows how to write them.  The Kills List is as compelling as it is brutal. 
 
As always from Matheson, we see great character development. The side stories around Henley and her colleague Ramouter are compelling and bring authenticity to the narrative.  Both characters are wonderfully human and imperfect – it’s clear the impact the gruelling job has on their personal lives.  There’s great camaraderie in the team and the humour helps counter some of the more gruesome content.  I felt for – and wanted to slap – Lillian in equal measures.
 
The Kill List is book three in the gripping Inspector Anjelica Henley Thriller series.  Whilst it would work standalone, I’d definitely recommend reading the series in order.  I’m already excited for book four!
 
Huge thanks to HQ and NetGalley for the advanced copy! If you’re looking for a twisty – and twisted – thriller, I’d recommend picking this one up.

There's not enough stars and word to praise Nadine Matheson's storis and this one is another excellent gripping and tense stories that kept me reading and surprising till the end
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

I loved this book it was such a great read. Things the first from this author and I’ll be reading more in future.

I originally tried to read this book last year but I had to DNF as I couldn't settle into the storyline but it turns out this was definitely a case of the right book at the wrong time because I picked it up again to read last night and have now finished it today and I was gripped the whole way through thanks to the unpredictability of the storyline.

This is an action packed book that is bursting at the seams with characters, lies and murders. I was so intrigued by this storyline the fact that it looks like Andrew Streeter has wrongly spent years in prison convicted of 5 murders but now his convictions are being overturned and the guessing game begins as to who is the real murderer or Burier as he is known. I love to try and look for clues along the way and try and solve the mystery before all is revealed but this was impossible for me in this book but that is what I loved the most about it was the unknown which just made me speed through the pages so quickly eager to discover the truth.

This is the first crime novel I have read in a long time that I thoroughly enjoyed and I do feel like this has been left ready for a book 4 not so much for the same crime but something that was left up in the air and I for one will be eagerly awaiting news on the next book and will definitely be picking it up.

Once again, another Inspector Anjelica Henley banger by the talented Nadine Matheson! Literally couldn't put this book down; absolutely draws in you and leaves you craving more. I'm a sucker for crime novels and romantic tension, so this book is right up my alley! 5 stars all around and can't wait for the next one!!

This is the third book in the DI Anjelica Henley series. For me, this book felt much more put together than the first book (I haven't read the second 🤫). There was a lot of the emotional and personal lives of the character's - maybe too much for a thriller but some may like this as it gives the characters more depth. I struggled with the first book as it felt slow and then had a lot of twists and characters that confused me at times - this book was easier to keep up with and flowed better. It definitely felt like the author has grown and matured in her writing.

This was an interesting book following a prisoner wrongly convicted. With new evidence the case is re-opened to look at old evidence and to uncover if there was any police corruption. The book keeps a good pace throughout and kept me intrigued.

Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Huge fan of the Anjelica Henley series and this follows on in the same style and vibe as the previous books, fans of the previous books will not be disappointed.

Dope that I am I came to this book nor realising I'd missed the first two instalments . So I had that nagging feeling I'd missed something in what I had read at first. Once I realised that yes, I'd missed two entire novels I really settled into the nooks. I only mention this as whilst this can work as a standalone, I immensely regret not reading them first. I really enjoyed this read, but I think the characterisations would have made more sense for me had I read the others first.

Andrew Streeter was arrested 25 years ago by Inspector Henleys friend and mentor the late DCI Rhimes. Now, new evidence results in Streeters' conviction being overturned amidst evidence that the original investigation was corrupt. It's up to Henley to discover the real killer and prove Rhimes innocence. But then the murders start again.

This is a tense and gripping novel full of compelling characters. There's a few moments where you may think, "erm not sure it would happen that way," but nothing so outlandish that it ruins the story. All is forgiven by virtue of its thrilling plot.

Absolutely loved it, fantastic roller coaster of a crime thriller in keeping with the others in this series by Nadine Matheson.
Grabbed me from the first chapter and simply didn't let up. Highly recommended for fans of this genre. You won't be disappointed.. Eagerly awaiting the next instalment.
Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for the ARC in return for unbiased review.

This was quite an interesting story and an original one. There were lots of twists and turns, and it kept me engaged right to the end. Very enjoyable.

I would like to thank Netgalley and HQ for a review copy of The Kill List, the third novel to feature DI Anjelica Henley of the Met’s Serial Crime Unit.

I enjoyed The Kill List, which takes an interesting premise, a quashed conviction, and turns it into a very readable novel. I like that the author takes the time and length to develop her characters into fully fleshed people with problems the reader can identify with, although the main event is the hunt for a vicious serial killer who got away with five murders in the mid nineties.

The plot is well constructed, flashing back to the original series of murders while maintaining a taut present day narrative. I am always fascinated by police procedurals and the way they gradually hone in on a suspect by using any and all means available. This is a great example of that - I was glued to the pages throughout - and it adds a little spice with some historical police corruption. I don’t think the novel scores particularly high in the reality stakes but I’m happy to trade a lack of reality for page turning entertainment.

The Kill List is a good read that I have no hesitation in recommending.

This book was well written with an interesting story . I loved the gradual build up and the story in her personal life too . I was intrigued and couldn’t figure out who the real killer was so I raced to the end . I will look out for more from this author in the future . Good read , would recommend

A good read, enjoyed it a lot. I am new to the author but will look out for more from her based on this one. A nice easy writing style that's easy to get through.

I really enjoyed this book. A brilliant plot that kept me guessing throughout and great characters. Highly recommended.

First of all thank you for approving my request!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The authors writing style had me hooked throughout this book.

I didn't want it to end, a book I really couldn't put down.

Thank you to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

DI Henley is back in this next instalment of this series, and the hunt for another killer begins. This killer is different though, as he should be dead after he died in prison. But did they have the wrong man? And why is he back? And was the police corrupt?

This is one of my favourite book series, it has everything you want in a crime thriller, it's on the edge of your seat gritty. I enjoy the focus we also see on the detectives lives, as its starts to feel like we really know them. Henley is such a well written character, and is everything a detective should be. The writing is brilliant, ensuring every page is fast paced, with many twists and turns throughout, along with the odd red herring.

Nadine Matheson hits the nail on the head once more with her gritty third installment in the DI Anjelica Henley series....the first two were outstanding and Kill List doesn't disappoint! Absolutely recommended that you sample any of Matheson's tomes....seriously impressive!

this is book 3 of the DI Angelica Henley series, it can absolutely be read as a stand alone, but I will be going back to read the others

I have read quite a few Thrillers over the years and is my go to genre but this was very much a strap in you are in for a rollercoaster of a read. It was a storyline that grips you from the start and no matter where you are in the story you just want to keep reading.

I loved the dynamic of the team, how they work together and, getting to see how they were working the case especially with the issues of the original case.

I went into this book completely blind as I hadn’t read the previous 2 books in the series, I thought this could potentially have a negative impact, but I feel as though this can be read as a standalone. Even though the serial crimes unit team remains the same throughout the series, there was nothing that made me feel as if I was missing out on context from the previous novels.

The Kill List, the third installment in the Inspector Anjelica Henley series, is both accessible as a standalone and enriched by the previous two books. The plot centers on Andrew, who was convicted in 1996 for the murders of five teens despite his claims of innocence. With new DNA evidence proving his innocence, Andrew is found dead before he can be freed.

Inspector Henley, still haunted by the original case, must now confront the chilling reality that a serial killer remains at large.

4.5/5.
