Follow Me Home (Detectives Kane and Alton, #3)

by D K Hood

This was the most disturbing of cases for Kane and Alton and one which was horrifying to listen to. (I have issued a content warning on this one, due to the nature of the story) I can however safely say, I guessed the killer straight away!! Yay me, but I still loved that there were still a few red herrings thrown my way to try and throw me off the scent but I was determined to not be blind sighted!

This was harrowing, and it was the first time where you want the killer to get away with the murders, why well you need to find yourself about what links all the men, but it was a tough read. The story is set in present day and with only the minute detail to the past, and that is only when the voice of the killer is present. Watching the police trying to catch them, and sending them red herrings on their way. One scene was a bit too much when a discovery is made on the mountains, it brought such a lump in my throat to think what string events occurred and sadness that followed.

Although, what the killer is 100% justified, I do not think anyone could deny that but is murder really the way to go. Is it really the only solution?

It was great to be back with the team and seeing where they were in their lives, although the whole police team seem to take a backseat in this story. I loved the two new additions to the team, and hope to see more of them soon. This story felt like it was more the killer’s story and the justifications of why they were doing what they were doing. I enjoy as always though, the police procedural part, as you watch them working together to solve these murders and it is always intriguing to see how police minds work.

I love this series! I love Kane and Alton, still pining for them to have a romantic interest but equally happy they don’t. Their friendship is a beacon of light, in their dark lives and I love in their downtime they watch rom-com’s together. I actually 100% adore Wolfe and Rawley, they are both such endearing characters. So much for relocating to a sleepy quiet town, and even though there are loads of murders, if I could, I would LOVE to go to Black Rock Falls.

I think the writing is sublime, and I adore how D.K Hood sets each scene for you. I could picture the funfairs, the lodges and unfortunately the more harrowing events. Check out my reviews of Don’t Tell a Soul and Bring Me Flowers, both follow the theme of which is I could not stop listening to these! Work really can be an inconvenience sometimes when enjoying a fantastic book!

I have to shout out to the narrator, Patricia Rodriguez, I thought she did a fantastic job and loved all the voices she did in this novel, kept me hooked all the way through.

I am so glad I have caught up with the series too as I can now enjoy book 4.
