Thank you to Bookouture for my copy of this book via netgalley. I love DI Harte so I was soooo excited to go back to Cleevesford. While this is the third book in this series you could read it as a stand-alone.
In this instalment, DI Harte is still struggling with the after-effects of her last case. While battling her own issues of anxiety and guilt she must work out why this young girl has fallen out of a van on this quiet road. I love DI Harte. She is very realistic. She has many issues and is trying to work through them but like any of us sometimes old habits die hard. It would be good to see Gina’s relationship whit her daughter grow.
The case was very interesting and did not unravel as I expected. There were quite a few twists and turns. I was definitely surprised by the outcome. The story also showed elements of the gritty world of the homeless that most of us probably ignore on a day to day basis. I also really felt for Julia. I really wanted to take all her pain away.
This was a thrilling case that really captured me and I can’t wait to see what DI Harte faces next. THE UNPUTDOWNABLE NEW THRILLER FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE NEXT GIRL
She’s just the girl he’s looking for…
A young woman falls from a van speeding down a quiet road. Battered and bruised, she turns her head to the person who comes to her aid. ‘Help her’, she whispers before her eyes close.
Days later, the body of another young girl is found in a shallow grave just a few miles away. The similarities between the two girls arestartling – same age, same frail body, same shocking red hair.
As the town fears there’s a serial killer living amongst them, Detective Gina Harte must put aside her own struggles at home, and catch the killer before he finds another perfect girl.
AN ABSOLUTELY HEART-STOPPING CRIME THRILLER FROM CARLA KOVACH – if you like Lisa Gardner, Robert Bryndza or Clare Mackintosh, Her Pretty Bones will have you hooked.
