My Review

In the third of this riveting series, Detective Rachel Prince is sent to America to investigate the murder of a British girl, Phoebe Stiles. The case seems to be wrapped up quickly but Rachel has strong suspicions that the police have arrested the wrong person. Another case is unearthed which has similarities to Phoebe’s murder and then another body is found.

Rachel’s boss instructs her to return to London but Rachel can’t get Phoebe’s murder out of her head and takes annual leave to return to America and find the killer.

This time Rachel works mainly without her partner DS Brickall who is left back in the UK.  I loved Brickall’s character and the pair worked well together, the banter between them had provided some lighter moments in the previous book, which I really enjoyed.

The writing flows really well and there are plenty of twists which keep you completely gripped. I enjoyed seeing Rachel’s character develop, her steely determination and headstrong attitude is even more apparent in this book. The chapters where the story is narrated by the killer really increase the suspense and the ending has you sitting on the edge of your seat.

My review of Now She’s Gone by Alison James can be read here. This is the second book in the series, but all the books work fine as standalone.
