About this ebook
Constable Hazel Best attracts a sinister new admirer in this absorbing police procedural.
When does a secret admirer become a stalker? When chocolates on the doorstep give way to the sound of an intruder on the stairs? When the victim’s friends are waylaid in the dark and beaten bloody? When she receives photographs memorializing these events? Or when people start dying?
For Constable Hazel Best, the pivot point is the attack on her friend Gabriel Ash. That’s when she focuses all her ingenuity on finding the man responsible. Her police colleagues would be more help if they weren’t already occupied with two murders – but assistance does arrive from an unexpected source.
In the end, though, Hazel must deal with the stalker alone. And more than her own life will depend on the outcome ...

Constable Hazel Best has a stalker. Whoever he is, he leaves flowers and candies at her front door. The stalker has accelerated his 'interest' in Hazel. A thug Hazel had a run in with is found dead with his head beaten to a pulp. And he's not the only body to fall. Seemingly, their only connection is they both knew Hazel. But then he escalates again. Her good friend, Gabriel Ash, is grabbed one night and beaten up. He's lucky he survived. The attacker spoke to him while pounding on him .... you are too old for her. Leave her alone. ....... meaning Hazel. Hazel will have to deal with the stalker / murderer before anyone else she knows is endangered. This is well-written, suspenseful, with well defined characters. Because I have not read any of the first books in this series, I felt a little lost with the relationships between Hazel and her friends, between Hazel and her supervisor, between Ash and his dog. However, this one has peaked my curiosity to start at the beginning. Many thanks to the author / Severn House / Netgalley for the advanced digital copy of this crime fiction. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
