About this ebook

When practising what you preach is easier said than done …

Professor Maxie Reddick has her reasons for being sceptical of traditional policing methods, but, in between her criminology lecturing job and her Criminal Thoughts podcast, she stays firmly on the side lines of the crime solving world.

Then a young woman is brutally attacked, and suddenly it’s essential that Maxie turns her words into actions; this is no longer an academic exercise – this is somebody’s life.

But as she delves deeper, the case takes a sickening turn, which leads Maxie to the horrifying realisation that the attack might not have been a one-off. It seems there’s a depraved individual out there seeking revenge, and they’ll stop at nothing to get it … little by little … one by one.

Ratings and reviews

This was a great story. I was totally immersed in the process of criminal techniques that were brought out in the book. I learnt a lot which was a big change from so many crime novels which seem so predictable currently. The whole story was well crafted and thought out. From the horrific incident at the start to the final unveiling of the villain I was held. The threads of the various relationships were well woven, and integral to the crimes committed. I am looking forward to, hopefully, a follow up book.

Wow! I didn’t know what to expect when I started reading this book – I loved it!! The mystery and suspense were amazing! I love reading books with strong female protagonists and Maxie did not disappoint. If you are looking for a great mystery that will have you guessing to the end, look no further!
