Book Blurb:
A university student is found strangled to death in her bedroom, but when the embattled DI Simon Fenchurch is called in to investigate, the case strikes dangerously close to home.
On the surface, the victim was a popular, high-performing student. But as secret grudges against her emerge, so too does evidence that she was living a double life, working on explicit webcam sites for a seedy London ganglord. Everyone Fenchurch talks to knows a lot more than they’re willing to tell, and before long he’s making new enemies of his own—threatening to push him and his family past breaking point.
With too many suspects and not enough facts, Fenchurch knows his new superiors are just waiting for him to fail—they want him off the case, and off the force for good. His family is in more danger than ever before. So how deep is he willing to dig in order to unearth the truth?
In For The Kill is published on the 19th April 2018 in ebook and hardback. You can pre-order your copy here.
My Review:
I’m on a roll for reading some fantastic books, and In For The Kill was no exception. It literally gripped me from the start with the unusual and shocking subject. As a parent it is the stuff of my worse nightmares and it made me turn the pages a little quicker as I was desperate to find out what was going to happen. Even when the story moves on to another story line it was always in the back of my mind as I hoped to find out more and wondering how it was going to link into the main story.
My favourite character was DI Fenchurch. Although he comes across as being a rather grizzled and grumpy guy, he definitely has a softer side which was touching to see. The respect and concern that his colleagues show him adds to the good guy persona. As mentioned above I really felt for him in regards to the story line regarding his daughter. For me this bit was really well written as I felt I went on a real journey with him and could feel all of his fears and frustrations as if it was happening to me. I think it shows amazing writing to make a reader feel this way.
The pace in the book is very fast and the story moves quite quickly making the book incredibly hard to put down. This was a book that had me reading long into the night or sitting up after a feed longer than I needed trying to fit a few more pages in. The thing that helps add to the addictiveness of this book is that the author interweaves the murder story with the characters personal stories which makes the reader more interested in the story and means you care more what happens to the people.
This is the fourth book in the series but the first I have read and I will definitely be going back and reading the books I have missed. I didn’t feel like I missed much coming into the series so late, though it might have been good to learn more about their backstory.
Huge thank you to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Emma Finnigan and Thomas & Mercer for my copy of this fabulous book!
