This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Thank you to Bookouture for letting me take part in this tour and for my copy of this book via Netgalley. I have Helen's first book on my TBR pile and when I saw this one I thought I need to read this.

Newly promoted Lucy Harwin has her first lead case and what a case it was. This book is definitely not for the faint-hearted. The murders in this book are some of the most horrific I have heard about. Helen is definitely not afraid of scaring her audience and I tell you she had me hiding under my cover in this one.

I enjoyed Helen's style and that she wasn't afraid of who she killed. Some authors may have shied away from killing some characters but Helen didn't and I applaud her for that. Even if it did break my heart a little.

I was gripped from the first page and I struggled to put the book down. I really enjoyed the different POV and trying to work out who the killer was.

I will definitely be reading more of Helen's books in the future.
