About this deal

In neither case am I going to tell you what they did because I don't want to spoil it for the reader. This starts with two cases the first a missing child and the second a body found at the scene of a road accident that forensics said was dead prior to crash. Heen H Durrant is my new author to look out for as although the downside was my struggling for attention at the start, it did end up a very good and an all consuming read. I do feel I should state here that there are some scenes of sexual violence that could be distressing for readers, if this is something that you feel could be upsetting for you this is maybe one to avoid. The detectives piece together the forensic evidence and track down the witnesses, to reach a shocking conclusion.

As that is not possible, I have awarded four stars rather than three as the story certainly held my interest throughout. The investigation begins when the body of a young American student is found in the backseat of a car during a large road accident, but it quickly comes to light that this was not how the young woman met her death. She seemed to be more of a sounding board and a conscience telling him what to do in his personal life.Leave it to Helen to come up with a gripping and gritty police procedural that keeps the reader hooked on to the story till the end. I've listened to MANY mysteries/thrillers and really enjoy this author's writing skills in this genre. Female students are going missing but nobody’s noticed yet “An outstanding police procedural that you won’t want to put down. Both the novels are fairly short but are full of action and suspense with good believable characters.

We get a mention of some things that happened in the past, and we get a very unsatisfying reason - but I don't really feel like it made sense for the killer to make the jump that he did. The author has some character-based twists and turns to kick things up a notch and keep readers guessing. Racing against time they must find the killer before he kidnaps and murders another unsuspecting victim.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. A case that was solved early in the book seemed to have little impact and no mention of repercussions, so why was it included? If you found the first book in the series a touch too gruesome for you I'm afraid this book isn't going to be any better for you if you've got a weak stomach, especially if you are afraid of the dentist! One thing I think it's worth mentioning for those of you who may be new to this series is this is the first time (that I've seen) one of these books ends on a cliff-hanger.
