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.

It kept me reading
Well developed and unpredictable. Very enjoyable…
It kept my interest
It kept my interest and had some surprise twists. A good entertaining read.
The Alicia lead character is so unbelievably irratating I almost couldn’t finish the book.
Not my favorite but still finished
started out okay but then female lead becomes an idiot after being so smart on on point in the beginning….sad.
Awful a total waste of time
the keystone cops team up with Benny Hill.
Too much story that never got to the conclusion.
A good read!
Liked it although a bit creepy.
It was a little unique in the premise. Little hard to believe section at the end but overall, not bad.
