Blurb
Detective Kate Carter is called out to a fatal car accident on a remote fen lane.
At first glance it looks like a drunk driver simply lost control and crashed headlong into a ditch. But nothing about the scene adds up. The number plate is fake. The driver’s licence doesn’t belong to the dead man in the car. One tyre doesn’t match the other three. And what is a vinyl 1960s pop record doing in the glove box?
A neat puncture wound to the driver’s neck reveals this was no accident.
The following day, the body of a young woman is found in an old barn out on the fens. She’s been dead at least two years. Placed on the body is another vintage pop record.
And then the nightmare becomes personal. A mysterious package arrives at the station addressed to Kate: a 45-rpm record, and a chilling note scrawled in block capitals: ONE MORE TO GO.
It’s just the start. Sinister phone calls, creepy notes left on her car, unwanted gifts on her doorstep: Kate can no longer deny that she’s being pursued by an obsessive stalker . . .
Is she next in the killer’s sights?
My Thoughts
This was one epic thriller that I have read in a while!
The story follow Detective Kate Carter as she tries to balance her work and life in two separate measures, however both worlds will collide with some devastating changes.
The moment Kate receives the note on her car as she is heading to a crime scene, the motion is set for a dual plot line but it keeps you guessing whether they both meet in the middle or not. She needs to protect her family and herself whilst working a job that leaves her exposed.
It is a short read so found myself going through it quickly! Due to it being a short read you do feel some elements missing and you probably don't get that real depth character developed that you would do form longer books; but the author is a good writer and builds this tense environment and answers most our questions through the chapters.
An Intriguing and intense read that I would recommend.
Thank you so much for being a part of the tour x
