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.

I really enjoyed reading it
tedious
Really enjoyed it, read it in two days, couldn’t put it down.
Not a follower.
I enjoyed reading this book
Finished it but didn’t care to read any more from this author
Very tense, keeps you on the edge waiting for whats coming
Boring
hard to keep up with story
Wow
This book is about a young detective who is very good at her job but not as good at knowing who to trust. Very engaging.
Different, with some unexpected twists.
Loved it!
I’m about done with all these horrible suspense novels but the good guys here were quite good and the writing was clear and interesting.
Not a fan of overly gruesome villans
Good read
A mystery that is way out of the league of the numerous vapid whodunits featuring amateur sleuths getting themselves into trouble by doing work best left to the police. Quite complex and unpredictable.
Hard to track at times
Gripping!
not bad
