This is the third book in the Helen Grace series and I have to say that neither this one...nor the first two... have disappointed in any way. If you are not a fan of gritty, dark thrillers...then this series is NOT for you. However if you like the darker side of things...pick up
Eeny Meeny...the first book and go from there.
The story flips back and forth between the thoughts of the captive young woman and the man that has taken her....and we learn that she's not the first...Helen Grace and her team are working to be sure she will be his last. We find that all is not roses with Helen's team. Treachery, lies and deceit runs rampant through the squad that should be working together and watching one another's backs. Her friend and fellow detective, Charley, is about to become a mother, and her supervisor does the most underhanded, unbelievable thing hoping to discredit and remove Helen... not only from the case but permanently from the police squad.
As with all this author's books...this one is well written with plots and subplots within subplots. The chapters are short and the reader will quickly make friends and enemies of the characters. Love the series and can't wait for book four.
