There’s a letter on the floor covered with blood next to a heart-shaped box of chocolates. The note says: ‘My beautiful darling, I’m sorry, please forgive me.’

When the body of a man is found with his wrists slashed in a London hotel room, it appears at first to be a tragic suicide. But Detective Dan Rileysuspects there is more to this case than meets the eye and the pathology report confirms his worst fears – the victim was poisoned and suddenly Dan is dealing with a murder inquiry. 

Then he makes a disturbing discovery, uncovering links between the victim and a woman calling herself Goldilocks on an online dating site. Is she seeking revenge or something more? 

Still grieving the devastating loss of his girlfriend and unborn child in a car accident two years ago, Dan throws everything he has into the investigation. Yet just as Dan begins to piece together the clues of this complex case, the body of a woman is found in her bed with identical wounds. 

Dan is on the trail of a twisted individual who is much closer than he realises. Can he overcome his own demons and stop the killer before it’s too late? 

An all-consuming and totally unputdownable read that will have you holding your breath to the very last page. Perfect for fans of Rachel Abbott, Robert Bryndza and Karin Slaughter.

MY REVIEW

This is the first book in the Detective Dan Riley series. 

Detective Dan Riley is still coming to terms with the death of his girlfriend and unborn baby in an accident two years ago. When Dan is called to a posh hotel a suspected suicide ends up as a murder which Dan investigates. The race is on to find the murderer when a similar murder leaves clues that there will be another murder. 

This is told through two points of view- Detective Dan Riley and the killer. 
This is a well written fast paced thriller that I really enjoyed. I’m looking forward to reading more of this series.
