5*
On a remote Highland mountain, the body of Elaine Buxton is burning. All that will be left to identify the respected lawyer are her teeth and a fragment of clothing.
In the concealed back room of a house in Edinburgh, the real Elaine Buxton screams into the darkness.
This is the first book in a new crime series and it sets the tone perfectly!
Take one DI, who left his job at Interpol in France under a cloud. Place him in rainy Edinburgh. Then add one of the most disturbed killers you’ve ever encountered and you get a chilling, gripping, sometimes gruesome but totally addictive page-turner!
It’s the stuff of nightmares and possibly not for the faint hearted but so brilliant.
I can’t wait for the next installment in this series, which is due out in June 2017.
