Book Description:
Do you want a thriller where nothing is as it seems?
Twenty years ago, Tatia was adopted into a well-off home where she seemed happy, settled. Then the youngest boy in the family dies in an accident, and she gets the blame.
Did she do it?
Tatia is cast out, away from her remaining adopted siblings Joel and Poppy. Now she yearns for a home to call her own. So when she see families going on holiday, leaving their beautiful homes empty, there seems no harm in living their lives while they are gone. But somehow, people keep ending up dead.
Did she kill them?
As bodies start to appear in supposedly safe neighbourhoods, DI Ray Drake and DS Flick Crowley race to find the thinnest of links between the victims. But Drake’s secret past is threatening to destroy everything.
My Review:
Mark Hill is an author I’ve only just discovered but he is fast becoming one of my favourite authors.
The author is very good at creating very intriguing, fascinating stories which are very fast paced and near impossible to put down. He creates some very freaky, messed up children’s characters which seem so realitic that you feel like they could actually exist. I found myself racing through the pages as I desperately wanted to discover what was going to happen next.
I enjoyed the main partnership between DI Drake and Flick. They seem to compliment each other when working together and trust each other despite events that occurred in the previous book. I still wasn’t sure if I trusted Drake as he still seemed a bit dodgy at times. I did also feel sorry for him though and wanted the case to be solved so he could gain respect again.
The twist when it came was quite surprising and had me racing back through the pages. I love it when this happens as I read so many books that I can often guess bit I did guess wrong with this book.
It Was Her is the second in the DI Ray Drake series but it can easily be read as a standalone as anything you need to know about the previous book is mentioned.
Thanks so much to Millie Seaward and Little Brown for my copy of this book and for inviting me onto the blog tour. If you like dark, addictive, edge-of-your-seat thrillers you’ll love this book.
