A Kate Marshall Thriller

Nine Elms

Lacey Feigl

Kate Marshall, the former police detective who caught the infamous Nine Elms serial killer, is stunned by the similarities of a recent murder and the case that shot her into the spotlight and out of the police force. She knows the recent murders weren’t committed by the same killer because he is currently in a psych hospital with no future of getting out. What does make her weary is the incredible detail this copy cat has gone to pay homage to his predecessor. Although she is no longer on the police force, Kate has to solve this case; not just for her peace of mind but for the safety of her family and friends.

Nine Elms is 426 pages long and took me 6 days to read.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am giving it a 4 out of 5! Although there are some pretty gruesome details it all plays into the troubling atmosphere of this book. I highly recommend to my friends that enjoy thrillers!

Thank you, Thomas & Mercer, for sending me this copy!

'The perfect book for Erika Foster fans. It has all the same vibes - but MORE. I actually think this is Robert Bryndza's best book yet' 'A gripping read that I could not put down' 'What an absolutely stunning start to what promises to be a brilliant new series' __________ From the breakthrough international bestselling author of The Girl in the Ice, a breathtaking, page-turning novel about a disgraced female detective's fight for redemption. And survival. Kate Marshall was a promising young police detective when she caught the notorious Nine Elms serial killer. But her greatest victory suddenly became a nightmare. Fifteen years after those catastrophic, career-ending events, a copycat killer has taken up the Nine Elms mantle, continuing the ghastly work of his idol. Enlisting her brilliant research assistant, Tristan Harper, Kate draws on her prodigious and long-neglected skills as an investigator to catch a new monster. But there's much more than her reputation on the line: Kate was the original killer's intended fifth victim . . . and his successor means to finish the job. __________ 'Twisty, dark and layered . . . A superb start to what promises to be another stand out series' M. W. CRAVEN 'Gripping from start to finish. I will wait with bated breath for the next Kate Marshall thriller' RACHEL ABBOTT

The thrilling first book in a brand-new, electrifying crime series

Lara Novak

The book is really good detective book, the plot is interesting and mysterious, but sometimes little predictable. 

Lynn Braden

In 1995, Detective Kate Marshall, after being attacked by her superior officer, Chief Inspector Peter Conway, arrested him for the serial murder of four women. Peter was labeled the Nine Elms Cannibal because he would bite his victims viciously, and he was consequently placed in an institution for the criminally insane. After the trauma and publicity connected with the case, Kate left the police force and became a university lecturer and gave birth to Peter's son from two nights she spent with him prior to his arrest. 
Kate and her assistant, Tristan are called in when a copycat begins killing women in the same way that Peter did. They begin looking into the recent crimes and how they connect to the past.

Nine Elms refers to the area where Peter Conway and his copycat killed their victims. Kate is clearly very damaged as characterized by her alcoholism that is frequently referred to throughout the story. This book sets up Kate and Tristan as private investigators, and several characters seem destined to appear again, with the events near the end suggesting future stories. Overall, this is a good beginning for the series.
