TICK…
In the city of Stoke, a teenage girl is murdered in the middle of the day, her lifeless body abandoned in a field behind her school.
TOCK…
Two days later, a young mother is abducted. She’s discovered strangled and dumped in a local park.
TIME’S UP…
DS Grace Allendale and her team are brought in to investigate, but with a bold killer, no leads and nothing to connect the victims, the case seems hopeless. It’s only when a third woman is targeted that a sinister pattern emerges. A dangerous mind is behind these attacks, and Grace realises that the clock is ticking…
Can they catch the killer before another young woman dies?
For Grace and her team there is little to go on--but for the reader, the anonymous voice that appears in occasional interspersed chapters offers some clues.
Are the murders the work of a copy cat (that killer is in prison), a new serial killer, or something else entirely? There is a fresh concept in this one, and the reader is allowed to glean some information from the chapters with the anonymous female voice that appears in certain chapters.
Read in March; blog review scheduled for April 19.

I like the sound of this one with that anonymous voice offering up clues as you go along.
ReplyDeleteSeries Killers are not my jam but I agree with Lark, the anonymous voice does sound intriguing...an added layer to the mystery!
ReplyDeleteCount me in as finding the additional anon POV intriguing. The revelations of who voices like that really are in the story are always so ood!
ReplyDeleteThat anonymous voice sure adds intrigue to this story. I've not heard of this author so will have to check out this series.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh, your letter arrived! :)
