Synopsis

Detective Inspector January David has always put his professional before his private life, but the two worlds are about to clash horrifically as he visits his latest crime scene.

Goodreads review by Miriam on May 06, 2018

Everything I love about a serial killer story is contained in this book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and found it easy to follow and extremely hard to put down.

Goodreads review by Janet on May 07, 2013

This book is a psychological, serial killer, thriller fest that I liked, I liked a lot! A couple of chapters in and I knew why. This reminded me of a great BBC drama a few years back called Messiah with the great actor that is Ken Stott. But before anyone panics, let me assure you there is no religi......more

Quotes

There is a vivid - almost cinematic - quality to the writing. It is intense and makes for uncomfortable yet compulsive reading News of the World

Will Carver's debut crime thriller centres around Detective Inspector January David's efforts to catch a serial killer. A tense and often gory read, this will have readers trying to guess who the killer is from page one Press Association

This writer will go from strength to strength and I believe we will be hearing a lot more from Mr. Carver. crimesquad.com

Brilliant debut, highly imaginative and so compelling milorambles.com

The book layout is completely different to anything I've read before. Will's characters are the killer, the victims and the police. What makes it so good is that every one of them is written in first person. That's no mean feat as a writer. highheelsandbookdeals.blogspot.com
