This is the third in the series but the only one I have read.
Streeter was convicted of five murders 25yr ago and he always said he was innocent and he told DI Anjelica Henley on her visit to the prison as he requested that her old boss DCI Rhimes was accused of corruption, so she starts to investigate and his conviction is overturned and Anjelica is out to find out who was the real killer and to find her old boss innocent.
The story was a bit graphic for me and the names had me confused at times, though getting to know the personal life of the police was interesting.
Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for the ARC and I give my honest review.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I like this series and really enjoyed the latest instalment. The police corruption angle was well explored

Although this is the third book in this series involving DI Anjelica Henley, I hadn’t read either of the previous ones. It really didn’t matter as I quickly engaged with the characters in Henley’s team. Twenty five years before, when teenagers, Henley’s best friend Melissa was murdered. Andrew Streeter was eventually caught and charged with not only her murder but that of four other young people. Fast forward to the present day and Streeter, who always protested his innocence, is now saying that the original investigation was corrupt. The arresting officer DCI Rhimes was Henley’s friend and mentor before his recent death. Henley is in a difficult position as the case is reopened, desperately hoping that Rhimes was not corrupt but determined to be completely professional amid the resurrection of bad memories of the murder of her friend. A complex story that weaves the past into the present and as a new Kill List begins it is a race against time before the body count increases further. A gritty thriller that never lets up in its intensity or complexity. With fear pouring from every chapter this is a gruesome and disturbing story that is a genuine page turner. The final page indicates there is more to come and I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

The Kill List is the third book in the Inspector Henley thriller series by Nadine Matheson.
In short, Andrew Streeter was convicted 25 years ago of kidnapping, raping and murdering 5 innocent people, now new evidence implies the original investigation was corrupt. No one is more shocked than DI Henley because the arresting officer was her old, well respected boss and he’s no longer alive to defend himself and it would seem the real killer is still out there and he’s working through a new kill list!
Another exciting, tense, character driven and unpredictable thriller. This is such a good series I simply devoured it and the ending suggests there’s more to be revealed and I’m really looking forward to finding out what Henley discovers!
Big thanks to Nadine Matheson, HQ and NetGalley for this eARC which I chose to read in return for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this outing a lot with the team. Highly recommend this series and cannot wait for the next installment. This one had great twists and turns. Overall a fantastic addition to the series.

I haven't read the first two books in this series. I didn't notice it was part of a series until I wrote this review. The book served well as a read alone. I struggled to get to grips with who all the characters were to start with but that would've probably been clearer had I read the two previous books.

The story was good and led on an interesting chase to catch the real killer before more people got hurt. I felt like the outcome wasn't as much of a twist as it was intended to be and had already worked out who the killer was.

I really enjoyed this book, but the ending hasn't stayed with me in the way similar books have. I really enjoy reading books by this author, and they are always gripping as this one is, I just felt the ending wasn't as impactful as I was hoping.

This is the third book in the DI Anjelica Henley series and it is another smasher.

The cases come in thick and fast for the Serious Crime Unit. When Andrew Streeter’s murder conviction is overturned and DCI Harry Rhimes is accused of corruption, the team is thrown into chaos. The murders need reinvestigating, and after 25 years, this is not going to be easy. They also need to investigate Rhimes and put their personal feelings for their former leader and mentor aside.

Things are further complicated by the fact that Anjelica Henley was a witness for the original prosecution as one of the murder victims was her childhood best friend. For Henley this case is intensely personal.

I love this series. The crimes are pretty brutal and there are lots of deliciously dark details that are not for the faint hearted, but certainly add to the realism. The investigations are meticulous and every clue is followed even when it leads no where.

For me, the best part of the book is the characters and their dynamics. The investigative team are flawed and complex people. Professionally they compliment each other and are close.

The book sets up a new investigation as Henley has a lot of unanswered questions about Rhines and his death. She also has to sort out her personal life which is falling apart.

I will definitely be reading the next book when it is published. Thank you to NetGalley for the gifted digital copy of The Kill List.

Review

Having read the previous 2 in DI Henley series I was super stoked to get my grubby mitts on this.

Wow I loved this book. I was totally engrossed. What a read.

I found it a quick read and it kept my attention from the first to the last page

Thank you Netgalley and HQ for the opportunity to review.

DI Anjelica Henley of the Serial Crime Unit is back with her team in the third instalment of this fantastic series. This time they are investigating a case of corruption and a wrongful imprisonment years after it occurred. Will they discover one of their own was part of the corruption years ago and put personal feelings aside?

This was another great addition to the series and I found the storyline really interesting; I was fully invested throughout the whole book. I loved catching up with the characters, as they seem so authentic and it is easy to build a connection with them. I feel these characters (and the series in general) are some of the best out of all the other available detective novels.

I was desperately turning the pages trying to work out who was responsible and if there was corruption involved. The storyline is very dark, gritty and complex, which adds suspense and intrigue. The author’s writing style is very enjoyable and I like how she manages to include the easy banter between the team. This was definitely another hit that I’ll be recommending - I can’t wait for the next one! 4.5stars. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this copy in return for an honest review.

Breaks my heart to say it but DNF @ 38%.

I really really enjoyed the first two books in this series and have been waiting patiently for this book since I finished The Binding Room just after it was released. I'm not sure if it's because there was so much of a wait for this book but I just didn't feel connected to characters anymore and the story of this one wasn't interesting enough to keep me pushing through.

Loved it as I have with every book in the series - already looking forward to the next one. Nadine is a star!

This dark serial killer book was so good I just couldn’t put it down! It was twists and shocks from the very beginning. It’s dark, twisty and exciting and I absolutely can’t wait to read more from this series!

Loved it! Kept me interested until the end. Loved the relationship between Henley and her team, very relatable. Didn't realise it was a series so now going back to read the first two. The ending! Please tell me there will be another I need to know what happened!
Thanks

The Kill List is the third book in the Inspector Angelica Henley series and another fantastic read by the author and you can read it as a standalone.
The SCU is on a hunt for a serial killer after the man who has been in castrated and accused of killing 5 women 25 years ago was acquitted after some further DNA was found. But was murdered on the same day.
The serial killer seems to have started killing again, as a body is found with the mouth sewn up. But when they untie it, they find a list in their mouth of people have died and going to be next.
We also learn and their personal lives and the effect that working for the Police has a detrimental effect on each SCU team members relationships.
This is a dark tense gripping read, with some red herrings along the way. I enjoyed this for the most part, but for me found the storyline far too long 4 stars from me.

DI Henley is back looking into serial killings supposedly carried out by Andrew Streeter. He’s been in prison for 25 years but suffering from cancer and he wants the task killer to be found. He’s always proclaimed his innocence. There’s also the story about Rhimes, Henley’s old boss who supposedly killed himself, The story is so well put together the pages just keep turning. And the ending wow!! What a cliff hanger. It’s hard to write much about it without giving the story away. But I loved it.

WOW WOW WOW!

Fast paced and addictive. I couldn't put it down until I finished reading it.

The Kill List is an absolute page turner. Dark with plenty of tension.

This is book # 3 of the DI Angelica Henley series, but can be read as a stand alone. Needless to say, I immediately added the books THE BINDING ROOM and THE JIGSAW MAN to my TBR.

Nadine Matheson has an impressive writing style and draws you deeply into the story. DI Henley is a strong, relatable female lead detective and I soon got a hang of her and her team at the Serial Crimes Unit.

A fantastic, well crafted 5 star read and if you love your police procedurals on the grittier and more gruesome end of the spectrum, then this one is definitely for you.

Thank you, @netgalley, @hqstories and @queennads for the advanced reading copy of this book.

Nadine Matherson is now a must buy author for me and I am eagerly awaiting book #4 of this series.

Thanks Netgalley for the ARC.

This was just brilliant. The third visit to DI Henley and the team. It was like catching up with old friends. Really fast paced and I couldn't put it down.

Twenty five years ago DCI Rhimes arrested and sent to prison Andrew Streeter AKA the Burier mainly due to the fact his kill list was found in his home.

Fast forward twenty five years and Streeter's conviction is now under review. Is he really innocent and is Rhimes really dirty? As the team try to figure it out The Burier starts a new kill list. While investigations continue into the past and present cases and the team deal with personal problems the twists and turns keep coming. Can't wait for instalment four.

Could be a standalone but the previous books set the scene for the personal relationships. Highly recommended.

this is Book 3 of An Inspector Henley Thriller by Nadine Matheson..
I really enjoyed this crime book and it kept me enthralled throughout

I am sorry to say that I didn't really connect with this book. I probably should have read other books in the series, but I struggled with this one.

The Hit List book review

The Hit List by Nadine Matheson

Firstly, my thanks to NetGalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing and the author Nadine Matheson for the advanced reading copy of this book in return for an honest review!

This book is the 3rd in a series on Detective Inspector Anjelica Henley and the team within the Serial Crimes Unit, London. It can also be read as a standalone but some of the richness and character arcs of those in the team will definitely help appreciate certain aspects of the storyline if you've read the first 2 books.

It covers from the planned release of a 5 times killer from the 1990’s on the basis of apparent corruption within the police investigation team to the present day. Since said officer was the bedrock of the SCU, the team struggle emotionally with the possibility that their boss had been corrupt as well as the difficulty in re-investigating the case from so long ago to determine who the killer could be.

Further deaths follow and the Hit List of potential victims appears to grow.

A superb read! Whether you are already a fan of the series, you enjoy police procedurals into serial killers or you want to read a beautifully written, fast moving suspense thriller with bated breathe throughout, you’ll not want to put this book down.

Five stars!
