Senior Detective Gemma Woodstock leaves all those she holds dear, her husband, small son and father, in the small town she's from, to work in Melbourne.

She finds herself heading not one but two murder investigations. One being a homeless guy and the other a high profile Australian actor, who is a heartthrob to a legion of fans.

The actor, Sterling Wade, is killed on the set of his latest movie and the investigation into his murder takes priority over the lesser one of the homeless man.

I didn't really warm to Gemma Woodstock who seemed to put her career before her loved ones, but despite that, the book gripped me from beginning to end as the reader follows her investigations into the murders.

The story kept me guessing right to the end and it was one of the few books I've read that I haven't sussed out who the killer is well before the finish.
