Portraits of the Dead blurb

Emma didn’t know how long he hid in the large Victorian wardrobe to the side of her single bed. She didn’t know how long he peered between the two heavy oak doors, and watched, as she slowly drifted into fitful sleep. She didn’t know what time he pushed the doors open and crept towards her in the darkness of the night.

Detective Inspector Gravel finds himself faced with a difficult case when a local nineteen-year-old university student is abducted and imprisoned by a sadistic serial killer, who has already tortured and killed at least five young women. 

Can Gravel find the girl and stop the murderer?

He will learn that the greater the evil, the deadlier the game…

MY REVIEW

Although this is a standalone I highly recommend you read the previous two books by this author as they also are great reads. 

Nineteen year old Emma's nightmare has come through when she finds herself naked and locked in a concrete room. How is she going to survive and escape from this psychopath. I like that we find out who the captor is early on as we can get into his head. 

DI Gareth Gravel and DS Clive Rankin are the investigative officers. Will they succeed in outwitting the captor?

Great twists in this story had my head in a spin. As for the ending I can see why people may not like the way it ended but I loved it. 

Fantastic well written story. I found the pace steady and I really didn't want to put the book down until I'd finished it. Like previous books by this author I will certainly be re-reading this book.
Can't wait to see what this author has up his sleeve for his next book. I highly recommend this book.
