Meet Detective Sergeant Alicia Friend. She’s nice. Too nice to be a police officer, if she’s honest.Now the annoyingly-perky detective finds herself in the grip of a northern British winter, investigating the kidnap-murders of two young women. When a third is taken, Alicia has less than a week to chip away the secrets of a high-society family, and uncover the killer’s objective. But Richard – the … objective.
But Richard – the father of the latest victim – believes the police are not moving quickly enough, so launches a parallel investigation, utilising skills honed in a dark past that is about to catch up with him.
As Richard’s secret actions hinder the police, the clock is ticking until another innocent person dies, and Alicia will be forced into choices that will impact the rest of her life.

Involved story
I did like the characters especially Ms. Friend but I thought I knew who the killer was but I was waaaay off base and that’s what I liked about the book.
It jumped around a lot. Was a little hard to read because of that. Otherwise good mystery book.
Enjoyed he book and it kept my interest as he plot kept turning. Surprise ending.
Throughly enjoyed the book. Somewhat noir, but not enough to prevent finishing.
Good story line, a little different.
Nothing!!! Totally badly written
The book was not cohesive and seemed to drag on and on. I skipped pages so I could finally be finished with it. Although I did care enough to want to know what in the world happened in the end.
Interesting read. Takes place in the UK so some interesting terms,
Could have been set anywhere but setting in England is a plus.
I am still reading it and having a hard time keeping track of the characters.
Great book, kept me hooked, twisted ending, surprised but satisfying!
Main character, Alicia, was a bit too whimsical for my taste.
