Just by this little snippet I have already been gripped and pulled into the wonderful world of Kate Morgan, this book is so beautifully written that I am still scared of every corner I walk past thinking about the horrors and mystery that could be lurking behind each one. I have always been gripped by murder and crimes stories and this book has only enhanced that love and passion. What a brilliant and intricately detailed account of the crime of murder throughout history. A crime that holds an inexplicable fascination for so many, this book traces the very first definitions and highlights the lack of progress when it comes to statutory guidance for this most complex of crimes, but in front of any good book is an amazing cover and this book contains just that, it draws you in leaving you with mystery and doubt of what will happen next pulling you into the wonderful world of death and carnage.
