This is a crime mystery. It features two timelines by two narrators that of a detective who is investigating the disappearance of a young woman and that of the author set 2 years before to now about a troubled young man.
After coming across parts of a female dismembered body that was found in the River Thames, DS Maeve Kerrigan is currently investigating the disappearance of Paige Hargreaves who was an investigative journalist. Paige was investigating Chiron Club, a club for wealthy privileged men in London who according to her sources were conducting illegal activities.
I liked the central character of Maeve as she seemed like an all-rounded person who gets along with most people and knows how to do her job well. I also liked the friendly banter that she does with Josh and Liv, her work friends. It would've been nice to find out how their relationships began.
I liked how the author gave two narratives because it makes you have a greater understanding of all the characters, and it created suspense that kept me hooked. The author also used dialogues and realistic descriptions to interest her readers especially those related to the dreadful crimes that can happen.
Surprisingly, this is the 9th book of a series but there's little references to the other books so it was a good stand alone read, which I enjoyed reading even though I don't normally read crime fiction.
I received my e-copy from Netgalley.
