Summary

The killer is closing in… can she find him before he finds her?

When Detective Nikki Parekh receives a set of threatening postcards, she knows it can only mean one thing… The man who escaped arrest after murdering her mother two years ago is back.

Each postcard has a similar message: You’re next Parekh.

As the post marks on the cards gradually get closer to Bradford, Nikki must do everything she can to protect her family and catch the killer before it’s too late.

But when human remains are found in a remote barn on the icy Yorkshire moors, Nikki’s attention is pulled away from her family. When a tattoo on the victim’s arm – the only means of identification – leads nowhere, the team have already met a dead end.

Will the team be able to make a breakthrough before someone else gets hurt, and can Nikki finally get justice for her mother’s tragic death?

Don’t miss the next utterly gripping crime thriller from the Queen of Northern Noir! Fans of Angela Marsons, Patricia Gibney and JD Kirk will love this nail-biting listen.

Tense , scarily present story

Tense and felt like a current news story that you don’t want to hear about .
Celebrates community and family which makes it a very real story .

Another taut episode in this series

Detective Nikki Parekh returns in this story. Betrayed in the worst way by her therapist, Nikki is still recovering from her breakdown. The postcards from her psycho father continue to arrive, depicting scenes closer and closer to her home in Bradford. With the very real threat to her family and friends she has to deal with her fractious daughter and significant changes at work.
A case of a severed arm drags her into the dark world of dog fighting and much worse, with the threat of her father’s revenge hanging over her head.
Having read the rest of the series (not strictly necessary to enjoy the book on its own) I was eager to read this book. I wasn’t disappointed!
The plot is intriguing and fast paced with plenty of twists and possibilities. Great characters and storylines that were woven skilfully together and a tense, dramatic ending.
I have got used to the consistent, steady narration that only speeds up with the dialogue but I did find that some of the unnatural pauses were distracting and took me out of the story a bit.
Have thoroughly enjoyed the series and highly recommend it.

Good story, believable

Really good story but let down by awful narration. Poor Grammar, pauses where pauses weren’t needed, phone Yorkshire/Bradford accent, poor pronunciation! Enjoy these books by Liz Mistry but I have to try ignore narration! Everyone I listen I say it’s last time!
