When a woman is found in the river, the police can’t quite believe she has managed to survive. Later, in hospital she claims not to remember the incident that led her to this fate or any of her personal information. But when a second body is found, she mysteriously vanishes from her bed.
Detectives Miles and Grey follow the only lead they have, taking them to the home of local construction company owner Reece Corrigan. They are shocked to find that they instantly recognise his wife, Angela, as the woman from the water.
But the more they dig, the more frustrated and confused they become. Unsure whether this couple are exactly what they seem and the affects this case will have on them personally.
So happy to be back with Miley and Grey! I really love these Detectives and this series. I was a bit disappointed with he last book, as I felt Diamond and the characters had lost their mojo. Well I am disappointed no longer - this instalment is back to the familiar fast-paced and gritty subject matter we have come to expect from this author.
The chapters are once again short and snappy, making it extremely easy to keep turning the pages of this book. The I felt the main storyline was inevitable, and I did surmise the “twist” quite early on. But to was the secondary plot that really had me feeling a huge range of emotions. I was angry, shocked and so upset that I actually shed some tears. I’m not going to go into too much detail, but this is dark and could be quite difficult for some readers. Perhaps a warning for the graphic content wouldn’t go amiss here.
This is Katerina Diamond back at her best, and I’m so very glad. Cannot wait for part 7!!
