Book Synopsis:
From the breakthrough international bestselling author of The Girl in the Ice, a breathtaking, page-turning novel about a disgraced female detective’s fight for redemption. And survival.
Kate Marshall was a promising young police detective when she caught the notorious Nine Elms serial killer. But her greatest victory suddenly became a nightmare.
Fifteen years after those catastrophic, career-ending events, a copycat killer has taken up the Nine Elms mantle, continuing the ghastly work of his idol.
Enlisting her brilliant research assistant, Tristan Harper, Kate draws on her prodigious and long-neglected skills as an investigator to catch a new monster. But there’s much more than her reputation on the line: Kate was the original killer’s intended fifth victim . . . and his successor means to finish the job.
Nine Elms is available in hardback and ebook now. The ebook is currently only £1.99. You can purchase your copy using the link below.
My Review:
I’ve been a huge fan of this author from the start and am always very excited to read new books from him. As this was a new series with new characters I was a little nervous at the beginning, but these soon dissipated as I started reading.
This story definitely starts off strong with a very dramatic opening chapter which quickly draws the reader into the book and sets the scene for what is to come. Some of the murders are pretty gruesome and quite shocking which might not be to everyone’s taste. I actually found myself skipping some parts as it was making me feel quite sick. There are some very messed up characters in this book which I loved to hate and found myself hoping they’d come to a sticky end themselves.
The main character Kate was a fantastic character who despite having a difficult past manages to rise above it all to do a brilliant job in a tough situation. She’s a very strong, intelligent woman and I found I really enjoyed following her as she tried to solve the case. I really liked how she never gives up even when she has lots of reasons to and just kept going. Her partnership with Tristan was great to read about and I look forward to reading more books with the two of them in it.
This is a very dark, twisty thriller which was incredibly gripping. The pace of the book never lets up and there are lots of developments and shocks which ensured I kept reading. There is a lot of tension in the book that slowly increases as the story goes on and a feeling of unease creeps in as the reader wonders what was going to happen next. I read this book in two sittings which is no easy feat with two kids. If you are looking for an intriguing new crime series then I thoroughly recommend this one!
Huge thanks to Kirsteen from Little Brown for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.
