This has easily got to be one of my favourite reads of the year so far!
If you love a good serial killer read then this is the one for you. The action starts at the very beginning and has you gripped the whole way through. I was literally hooked from the prologue.
A police procedural thriller, headed up by DI Grace Archer and her partner DC Harry Quinn and quite an entertaining and formidable team they make.
I really liked Grace, shes a strong character with a believable background that is slowly revealed throughout the story but most of all she felt relatable which is a massive bonus in my eyes. I also love the relationship that we get to witness between her and her Grandad who has Dementia, she is having to work all hours on the investigation aswell as trying to care for him.
I'll admit I did guess the 'baddie' bit that didnt take anything away from the storyline or plot at all.
I really enjoyed reading the unique and inventive storyline, I wont give any spoilers but .. art + serial killer + random victims...you'll be on the edge if your seat trying to fathom who, what and why!
The whole thing from beginning to end flowed seamlessly at a fast pace and was extremely well plotted... how the hell is this only David Fennell's debut? I am so looking forward to his next installment.
On a side note.. the cover is amazing!
This is the easiest 5* I've given in a while.
Huge thanks to netgalley and Bonnier Books for the ARC.
