My Review:

Say Your Prayers is a gritty, dark and addictive thriller which is the first book in the DI Sterling series.

The story alternates between the Killer and DI Sterling’s point of view which I found very interesting. The Killer has to be one of the most horrible, sadistic killers I’ve met for a while. Through his story we learn more about his background and what made him like he is. We learn more about DI Sterling and the busy home life he is trying to juggle alongside work too. I quickly grew to like Sterling and felt a lot of sympathy for him as I know how difficult it is to juggle both.

Overall I really enjoyed this book and have already bought book two which I hope to read soon. The plot was very fast paced with lots of little storylines running alongside the main one which was very clever. There were lots of twists and a few red herrings which kept me guessing until the end. The ending was fantastic, very dramatic and hugely satisfying.

Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Headline for my copy of this book.
