The Battersea Strangler was the nickname given to the killer who abducted three women.

The Guilty Secret by M.L. Rose is the 7th book in the Detective Arla Baker Series. I think each book gets better and better. This book has so many twists and turns and kept me turning the pages well past my bedtime. Just when you think you’ve figured it out, you find out you weren’t even close. This is very fast paced and full of action. The Guilty Secret will keep you engaged throughout, you will not want to put it down. The ending was definitely a surprise that I did not expect. I can’t wait for the next book in this amazing series to come oUT.,
Whoa! What an ending! I sure didn’t see that coming. This 7th book of the series finds Arla returning to work after a long maternity leave. Bodies from a high profile cold case begin to show up. A special inspector appointed to help on the case is flirting with Harry. Arla has to worry about being done in time to pick up her daughter. She is stressed. Then 2 more girls disappear and the cold case becomes a new case. In the midst of it all, in a subplot Harry’s mother is getting weird messages left on her porch. I enjoyed this book because we see a very human side of Arla as she juggles motherhood and work. ML Rose’s characters are strong and well developed. Arla is a smart tough policewoman surrounded by an efficient team. Harry is a lot calmer, jokes around some but still gets everything done. As the book goes on we learn more about Harry’s mother and her friend and glimpse Harry’s early life. The bad guy Paul is appropriately evil. The style of writing is at times quite colorful. “Scimitar rays scything through the gloominess of grey bellied clouds”. There are some red herrings and lots of action leading up to an ending I was totally not expecting. Another great book from ML Rose. I can’t wait to read more about Arla and Harry.
A tragic, twisty, physiological thriller about the events in people’s lives that can cause deviant behavior, and how well they can hide their crimes from society. A well crafted plot and great characters will have you on the edge of your seat for this one. This is my honest, voluntary review of an advanced reader copy of this book. Looks can be deceiving, 5*
A young boy who was bullied started killing birds and animals. A young girl raped by a priest. This is a thriller that you will not want to put down. Arla Baker just back from maternity leave is thrown into a case of bodies hung from a ceiling and the bodies are a gruesome site. The bodies are young women killed 10 years ago. The novel has a heart pounding conclusion you will not want to miss.
Another really good book in this series. It was fast paced, especially the last few chapters. Whew! It was a good mystery and kept me guessing. I really like this series and look forward to the next one.
Thanks to the author for the early copy
