Many thanks to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer/Amazon Publishing for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by Claire McGowan. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!
Karen Walker's first love went on to become known as The Bagman, a serial killer currently locked away for life. Ever since, Karen has had to deal with the weight of not knowing what he was capable of and defending him. But now, ten years later, as her book of her account of the crimes is about to be published, another young woman is abducted in similar circumstances. It can't be The Bagman, can it? She must return to her hometown to see if there's any chance of saving the girl.
As always with Claire McGowan's book, this was a tense thriller. I liked the way it was written - the reader got excerpts from her book filling in the past history, plus the dialogue was such that Karen was talking to The Bagman, again giving clues to their relationship and her thoughts. It was also a good police procedural as the hunt was on for the missing girl with even an amateur sleuth team getting in the action. Loved the ending too!
