Tony & Carol have spent years delving into the psyche of serial killers to form profiles/patterns. Young girls have been vanishing across the country with no apparent reason. Each appeared to be well adjusted in a happy home with their parents. Where to look first and who to question? Spending time with the parents of the missing girls may lead them to interests held in people, places and possible future careers. I took my time with this book, as I wanted to savor it and take in all the details rather than rushing to find out whodunnit. The Torment of Others: Two years ago, Derek Tyler captured national attention when he was convicted of multiple murders. The evidence linking him to the crimes was irrefutable. When a woman is murdered using the same exact technique as that of Tyler, Tony Hill is brought onboard to scrutinize the entire situation. The pair must put their resources together to find the pattern and catch a madman hiding in plain sight. For Hill, there is so much more at stake. When one of his students is killed, he makes it his goal in life to find the killer.

There doesn't seem to be an upcoming book in The Tony Hill/carol Jordan Series. The newest book is How the Dead Speak and was released on December, 3rd 2019.
Val McDermid is a popular Scottish author who was born on June 04, 1955 in Fife, Scotland, United Kingdom. She is particularly famous for writing all her novels in the Mystery, crime and Thriller genres. She has written 4 different mystery novel series based on the lives of 4 main protagonists. Almost all the novels written by McDermid are widely popular all over the world because of her unique characterization of the characters of the novels and suspenseful plots. For Tony Hill, with the help of Carol Jordan, and his now team of three this has become a highly personal search for the truth. This is the 11th book in the Hill/Jordan series. Tony Hill has been incarcerated and is slowly finding who to trust and who to steer clear of in prison. His days are filled with his writing if a new book and of a program to possibly bring a ray of hope to other prisoners. Carol has been dismissed (thrown out) of any and all police duties. A new path in her life arrives in the form of a most unlikely individual. Brownwen Scott, the defense council and Carol's former opponent in the courtroom trials, has a proposition for Carol and it appears to be a new horizon on Carol's future. I did feel the plot get tediously hampered by various things, for instance the 2 dullard coppers who decide to put under suspicion the entire profiling force for the murder of one of their own, simply because the team knew each other. Such a flimsy basis surely couldn’t give them the powers to dismantle a whole subdivision within the police force? One of the coppers, Waldron had the imagination of a fence post.
Val McDermid Awards
In this novel, I particularly liked the insight into the internal dynamics of ReMIT; functioning without its two charismatic leaders and the character development of its regular members: Paula, Stacey, Alvin and Karim.

DISCLOSURE: Thank you to Grove Atlantic via Netgalley for providing a digital ARC of How the Dead Speak by Val McDermid for review. All opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own personal opinions. The recent murder seems all but impossible because Tyler is still incarcerated. As Tony tries to put the pieces together, DCI Carol Jordan has her hands full trying to trap a murderer. Other Book Series You May Like
How The Dead Speak is book 11 in the Carol Jordan and Tony Hill series. It has been a while since I read one of these books which is something I need to immediately rectify. I forgot how brilliant Val McDermid is and I am so looking forward to seeing her at BAD Writers Festival in Sydney in September. I received this book from Grove Atlantic with a publication date on 3rd December but it has already been released here in Australia and the UK - and I could not wait to read it. Fans of this series will love it and I felt that it could be read as a stand alone too.Tony and some of his students collect evidence to prove that Vance is a killer while being ignored by the local police force, who completely dismiss their evidence regarding Vance. One officer, Wharton, is particularly dense. Having decided to finally tell his story several years later, journalist Catherine Heathcote is confused when Bennett tries to pull the plug on the book that might tell it all just when it is poised for publication.
