This is a book in a series and i wish i had read the others before.

It was a gripping thriller with lots of twists

Thank you Netgalley for a copy for an honest review

When a body turns up which forensics reveals has bee. Starved for 24 hours before his murder DCI Antonia Hawkins can’t find out why the killer is acting in this way. Someone is treating humans like animals and killing then for fun. This was a gripping read which I really enjoyed. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this arc:

The keeper by Alastair Gunn.
A good read with good characters. Likeable story. Well written just not for me.4*.

Back with Antonia Hawkins in this book 3 in the series. A series i'm really enjoying. Currently playing catch up means i've managed to read books 2, 3 and next book 4 in a short time. Being behind in a series does have some advantages, as I've enjoyed reading these books pretty much back to back.
I'm slowly slowly growing to love the character of Antonia. I think the author has done a great job in creating her.
Antonia has many flaws, and doesn't seem to be able to get through a case without injury to herself. She is also suffering mentally from injuries incurred in a previous case.
At times she is a little bit to stubborn and things could be so much easier for her if she could just open up and let some of her guards downs.
Antonia and her team certainly have their hands full with the hunt for this killer. When a body is found buried in local woods, its down to the team to find out first, who the body belongs to and why he is buried in the woods.
As more bodies seem to start turning up, the book ramps up a gear and it's all systems go for the team, working flat out to find the killer before anyone else is killed.
Another very well written book with a great story line that will keep you wanting to read on.

For me, it's right onto book 4 because I need more.

Unfortunately I found this book quite difficult to read and my attention kept drifting away. It just didn't grip me, which is a shame as I read and enjoyed other books by this author. I gave up half way through.

Thabks to netgalley for the opportunity to have read this book!
This is the first book I’ve read by Alastair Gunn, even though its number 3 in the series, it read nicely as a stand-alone.
Our main character is DCI Antonia Hawkins whom has to save the world while struggling with her own problems. Recommended!

This book is a third in the serie, but I felt it worked fine as a stand alone. A great London based detective story with great characters and gritty details. Enjoyable read and recommended to all
