REVIEW
RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Is Carol Wyer the Queen of Police Procedurals? I say YES!
DI Kate Young is back, summoned to investigate the rape and murder of a young woman in Abbots Bromley while trying to prove the corruption in the police force that ended with her husband’s life.
Once you start a Carol Wyer book you know you won’t be able to stop until you’ve reached the end. This time she delivers another gripping read putting the reader in the midst of the investigation right from the start.
DI Young is such an interesting character. She’s still grieving her husband’s death and dealing with all the revelations she discovered at the end of “An eye for an eye” when she’s thrown into another stressful case, being not only against a killer but against her own boss who keeps trying to destabilize her. Her mental health issues are really well portrayed and although they could make her unreliable I think they actually humanize her.
Although it deals with an issue as sensitive as rape and the scars it leaves on its victims, it’s done in a respectful way with no graphic descriptions.
The corruption case is getting really interesting and I just hope she can find the proof she needs to nail those bastards on book 3. Once again, read book 1 first to really appreciate and understand all the details and subplots here (and because is one hell of a good book!).
The only reason this was not a 5 ⭐️ read was that it was quite clear from the start who the killer was (even though we don’t know its name) and I was kinda hoping for a final twist.
That final twist came in the very last page and now I’m dying to read book 3.
