Book Synopsis:
THE NEW NOVEL IN THE MILLION-COPY SELLING DETECTIVE GERALDINE STEEL SERIES
An inoffensive man is murdered in a seemingly motiveless attack. Detective Inspector Geraldine Steel and her team are baffled, until DNA from an apparent stranger is discovered on the victim’s body.
Geraldine is not convinced the suspect is guilty. When a witness comes forward to offer the suspect an alibi, Geraldine lets him go. That night, a second murder is committed. The evidence points to the suspect who has just been released.
As Geraldine attempts to make sense of the suspect’s complex history, he goes on the run. Even his wife appears to condemn him. Only Geraldine still doubts that he is to blame for the murders, but is she prompted by her own guilt for having released him to kill again?
As the story races towards a breathtaking twist, Geraldine is tormented by self-doubt, and struggles to focus all her attention on the case. Someone is lying and the police must uncover the truth before anyone else is killed…

My Review:
I’m a huge fan of this series so I was very excited to discover there was a new book in the series. As always it was great to be back with the fantastic Geraldine solving a case alongside her and her team. One of the things that always stands out for me is the author’s ability to make the reader feel included in the team and the case so they feel everything that happens personally.
I always enjoy books that show all sides to a character and I have really liked getting to know Geraldine over the course of the series in both a professional and personal capacity. I feel showing both sides of the character has allowed me to understand her more so I truly get what makes her tick. This has also made me feel more protective of her and I found I really cared about what was going on in the story and what happened to her.
Overall I thought this was another fantastic addition to a series that just keeps getting better and better. The multiple points of view was very interesting and helped to give me an holistic view of what was going on. The many twists kept me guessing and I found the book hard to put down at times as I was so engrossed in the story.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to No Exit press for my copy of this book.
