Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest in the wonderful police procedural series by Gytha Lodge - 5 stars!
The police have a serial killer on the loose, dubbed the "bonfire killer" for the pyres set to burn the two women's bodies. Tension is high in the community as well as in the police station. DCI Jonah Sheens and his team are working round the clock to find the killer, and get a match through a familial DNA database in the US. Lives are about to be turned over quickly when the team focuses their attention on a single mother and her two teenage sons.
This series keeps getting better and better - but if you haven't read the other ones, never fear, it's great as a stand-alone novel as well. But these characters and their interactions and history are so good and just add to the solid police procedural. This one is pulled from the headlines after a woman uploads her DNA into a database, only to find that she is related to a murderer. A must read that kept me guessing until the final page!
