This book is emotional and gripping. The way it is written in short chapters with big plot twists makes it difficult to put down. I really enjoyed how it was written to also include the perspective of a sociopath, a voice that isn’t usually focused upon in crime mystery books. I also enjoyed how this second book in the series enabled readers to learn more about DI Kim Stone’s life and provided multiple opportunities for character development.
