Ratings and reviews

Interesting to read how DI Grace started out as a rookie copper plus the development of her character, as well as the progression of the author's skill in honing his craft. M.J. Arlidge has without a doubt become my favorite author with his DI Helen Grace detective thrillers. I hope he continues to write many more to keep his avid followers enthralled with the constant twists and turns within the plots of his DI Grace series.

So disappointing and a waste of money. Who even wrote it?! Not the same fast paced intricately woven plot of previous DI Grace novels. I'm embarrassed to have told fellow readers how much I was looking forward to this new book.

I absolutely love the Helen grace series, I read 5 or 6 of them while I was in prison serving my first sentence. They honestly made it so much more Bearable
