    About this audiobook

    A body has been found in a frozen lake, bringing a gruesome act of evil into the light.

    One look at the victim is enough for DCI Claire Winters to recognise the work of a warped mind. And when another woman is reported missing, Claire’s worst fears are confirmed: this is a killer who plans to strike again.

    As the body count rises, the pressure is on for Claire to find the perpetrator and bring them to justice. But first, she must learn to understand the twisted mind behind the crimes. And that will take her to a darker place than she ever thought possible.

    Loved DCI Helen Grace and DI Kim Stone? Don’t miss the second book in the addictive new DCI Claire Winters series.

      This is the second book featuring DCI Claire Winters, and although this could be read as a standalone, there are references made to events and relationships from For All Our Sins (book 1) which I think will make more sense if you've read the books in order.When the body of a prostitute is found in a frozen lake and then a respected, well-off solicitor is abducted and murdered, Claire and her team soon realize they are looking for a cunning killer who won't be stopped easily. But what is the connection between these two victims who come from completely different backgrounds?Claire is still reeling from the events a year ago and could do without the hassle she is getting from the newest member of the team, DS Elias Crest. On top of that, her mother has decided to stay with her for a while.I think Claire makes quite a good protagonist. Although she comes across as aloof a lot of the time, there is a very vulnerable and caring side to her as well.I enjoyed this book even more than the first. The plot flows smoothly, the writing is succinct and the storyline draws you in and keeps you engaged all the way through.I am looking forward to the next installment.Thanks to Tania Walsh and Carina UK for providing me with a copy via NetGalley in exchange for an unbiased review.

      So good! The house acting was spot on. So suspenseful. Loved how the chapters ended on cliff hangers which had you on the edge of your seat.
