Review:
I have to start by saying thank you to Zoo Loos Book Tours for inviting me on this book tour and to HJ Reed and Inkubator for providing a copy of the book.

Ok, so I was hooked within the first 6 chapters, and I couldn't put it down. Now I got information to go along with the book tour but I never read it until I've actually read the book( after once accidentally spoiling the end of a book for myself that way) so I went into this book thinking it was the most recent in a series of DI Crow books and that the first 6 or so chapters were gently filling me in on what had happened in the last book, which I thought was really well done. I got everything I needed to know without an obvious "here's a flashback to last book's events" and I really liked the character of DI Crow, he's defiantly someone ill be going back to read more about when the next books come out!
It was so well written, I actually thought I had the killer figured out by chapter 7 and then by chapter 11 I wasn't sure and thought that id been fed a red herring, then I went back to being sure I knew! But I was so wrong, and I loved that! (not something you'll hear often from me lol)
This is HJ Reeds' first Crime novel and I so hope it won't be her last because she's created characters that you can invest in, that you want more books about so you can keep following them and they are all so beautifully tied up with the murder/crime. I don't give books scores( unless it's a book club read) but if I did this is defiantly a 5-star read.
If you love crime books I highly recommend you pick this one up and prepare to add HJ Reed to your auto-buy authors list!
