Diana - The Woman Inside [DVD] [2017]

Product Information

Would I recommend it? Well, no, but if you come across it and it sounds like something you would enjoy, especially if you like detective and amnesia based stories, then yeah, chances are you will enjoy this. First, I want to thank Anna-Lou Weatherly, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. Told from the alternating timelines of 1987 and the present, we are shown a chilling and unsettling portrait of escalating evil, and it is up to Dan to solve a diabolical puzzle before there is more collateral damage. Although it is the fourth book in the series, THE WOMAN INSIDE can be read as a standalone easily enough without getting lost. I love how each of the author's books explore the villain and their victims as well a little of the investigation without bogging readers down in the procedural aspect. Perfect for fans of crime thrillers that don't focus solely on the investigation.

One way that I rate my mysteries is to see if I can solve the case before the big reveal. In this case I was partially right though Weatherly did throw in a few curveballs. After polishing off all five audiobooks in author Anna-Lou Weatherley's DI Dan Riley series, I am currently suffering from withdrawal symptoms. This is an addictive read, and I loved the further development of Detective Riley's character, particularly that pertaining to his personal life. I am eagerly anticipating the continuation of this enjoyable and highly engaging series. They always say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger! Daisey the main character in this book was so strong! She didn’t deserve anything that happened to her! My heart went out to her many times. Despite my little quibble, (I'm a Biology teacher. No one else is going to care.) I enjoyed the book and read it over 2 days. For the most part the medical aspects made the mystery more interesting. Great police procedural! And DI Riley is as good as they come.Daisey Garrett opens up her door one night to an intruder who bashes her over the head with a hammer, slahes her throat, and leaves her for dead. When the police are called Detective Dan Reilly, is called, and finds out Daisey is still alive. But when she wakes up in hospital, she cannot remember anything of that fatal time. When other bodies turn up with the same M.O. Dan has got his work cut out to find the killer before they strike again. I did like the characters. I felt connected to them which is, in my opinion, quite important because that can make or break a story. It was well written and well told. Maybe it was just missing that little extra something or maybe it's just me. I am glad to have read this but I can't see myself re-reading it.

thank you to Netgalley, Anna-Lou Weatherley and Bookouture for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review* The author has a new book being released in early 2023. and this book will be at the tippy-top of my TBR list. Anna-Lou Weatherly brings you a storyline that captivated my attention as no author has done in The Woman Inside. This story was deep on so many levels but nothing would prepare me for the twist at the end. The reveal of the villain and the ending of the book is a little far-fetched, but I still enjoyed it. I thought I had figured out the twist early on (which was actually less convoluted than what ended up happening) but I was wrong. Overall, an enjoyable read with tension and suspense and good twists. I’m looking forward to the next one!

This is the 4th instalment in the Detective Dan Riley series. I am happy to say it is still going strong for me and I really like him as a character. He does not always follow the rules but it is always in the best interests of the case and he is not a people pleaser. What gets him by is his instincts and famous gut feelings
