Racing against time they must find the killer before he kidnaps and murders another unsuspecting victim. A good detective story that moves on at a reasonably fast pace that involves a man with fanatical emotions towards a woman that he loves and idolises but which are not reciprocal.
Also available are four books in the 'DI Greco' series - Dark Murder, Dark Houses, Dark Trade, and the latest - Dark Angel. Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

A case that was solved early in the book seemed to have little impact and no mention of repercussions, so why was it included? There are places where I felt their reactions didn’t quite match the positioning the author is creating for them. There are three story-lines in the book, two of which are satisfactorily concluded (including the main one) but one ends on a cliff hanger.Each holds a clue from the start and it is perhaps incompetant police work that fills the ensuing 200 pages. The narration by Jonathan Keeble is excellent, but it's not enough to make me want to continue the series. As that is not possible, I have awarded four stars rather than three as the story certainly held my interest throughout. This time they are out to catch a sadistic killer who has already killed at least twice, but probably there are more bodies to find! Although this is the second in the series I would say it works perfectly well as a stand alone book and you wouldn't have needed to have read the first in the series Dead Wrong.
Lydia is just slutty and Jones is a cheap-skate, too concerned with saving money than solving crimes.While I enjoyed this book and I think it was not quite as strong as the first, it wasn't enough to deduct a star.
Relationships seem stuck or forever repeated; a senior officer promoted beyond his ability is like a radio jingle: "watch your budgets, we can achieve more on less".As this series is shaping up to be a full series of rather short-but-enjoyable police procedurals, I couldn't help but wonder whether the focus was not a little too much on the personal lives of the main characters. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. I've gradually picked up on the fact that DS, DI, and DCI are police officials of increasing rank, they work out of a "Nick," and they would rather catch the bad guy before he decides to "do one.
