Another excellent book in the D.I Kim Stone series. I enjoyed how this story focused more on Stacey, a character whose background hadn’t before been explored and the shared investigation aspect. At times it is a hard read especially with the graphic injury details and vile characters showing how horrible human kind can be, however it is much needed to raise awareness of hate crimes and racism.
