Forensic psychologist and profiler Dr Jo McCready is called into help when a series of murders are linked to a serial killer she studied as a student. Not that same serial killer has offered to help track down his copycat, but only if Jo will come and speak to him.
 
A brilliant crime thriller which only work and sleep were able to divert me (unwillingly) from reading.
 
Jo is a fantastic character, and while I’m slightly disappointed with the tension and estrangement between her and her on/off boyfriend, police detective Callum Ferguson, in this book, it does make for additional layers to the story.
 
A gripping read with a great combination of heart-in-mouth tension and a sense of humour, I highly recommend it.
