Thanks so much to NetGalley, Avon and Tracy Buchanan for the opportunity to read and review this thriller!
I really enjoyed this book centered around a newly-single mom, Anna, just back to work after her maternity leave. She's taking a walk by the beach when she and her daughter are attacked by a young schoolboy. She has a metal comb with her that she reaches out to protect her baby - it plunges into his neck and kills him.
The police are at first sympathetic but when Anna finds another boy's body that has gone missing, they turn their suspicions onto Anna. As does everyone else, including her estranged husband who feels that Joni might not be safe with Anna. Then an old unsolved serial killing case, dubbed the Ophelia Killer, comes to light - is he back?
There is lots of issues going on here - class differences, familial loyalty, crowd hysteria, media intrusion and responsibility.
A good mystery to curl up with!
