Review in the Bishop's Stortford Independent, January 2024
Jane Fawley is a practising psychotherapist as well as being an author and – big bonus – having two rescue dogs. And fans of really gory serial killer reads (think Chris Carter) will not be disappointed as I haven’t read anything quite so gory for a long time. We meet Sam Stirling who is a criminal profiler for a police force that actually encourages profiling, rather than some detectives who seem to think it’s witchcraft!
​
Sam, though, is beset with his own demons and, apparently, in order to overcome these he has to have a monthly meeting with a psychiatrist of his own, and so the gorgeous Emma enters the scene. The murdered bodies are deposited in places very familiar to Londoners – I love being able to picture the “body scene”. So there’s a body left in Victoria Park (my husband’s old stamping ground) and Emma is walking in Highbury Fields (just around the corner from where the kid lives).
​
London is running scared and the pressure is on for Sam and his guv “Smiley” Riley to make an arrest.
​
There’s only a breakthrough when Sam realises just what the killer is trying to tell him. And there are some heart-stopping twists along the way. To be honest, I’m not a great fan of the title and there is a little bit too much forensic detail that I probably don’t need to know (although I’d probably be terrific in a quiz round), but serial killer aficionados will love this.
