While this wasn't my normal sort of novel, I was VERY excited to get out of my comfort zone and try something new. Jeffrey Butler delivered. This was my first introduction to Harper Jones, and I wasn't disappointed. Twists and turns. A good mystery. Detective work at it's finest. I would read more of this. Thank you to NetGalley for letting me read the ARC of this.

This book had me gripped from the beginning! It's straight into action, no messing about. I found the characters fascinating and wouldn't have minded a deeper dive into the serial killers' past. Lots of twists and turns on the way. Loved it, definitely recommending!

This is a great mystery that keeps you guessing. I enjoyed Harper and following along with his investigation. There were several things that took me by surprise. I definitely would love to read more featuring these characters.
