A strong debut, Masson has given us a dark, compelling and intense crime drama. With perspectives of a killer with severe mental health issues and a DI who is struggling after a traumatic event that left her injured and her partner paralysed. 

I think for a first book and introduction to Eve Hunter series is was great!
Everyone struggling with their own personal problems, an imperfect DI, a crazed killer. 
One thing I struggled with was I couldn’t get quite invested in to Eve’s character but I am looking forward to seeing what comes next.
