Description:
The woman’s limbs were so thin; the skin on her arms as translucent as tracing paper. Around her neck lay a faint string of purple bruises. In one so frail, darker, angrier marks might be expected but Beth knew the bruising would have stopped the moment her heart stopped beating.
When a walker finds the body of a woman by the shores of Ullswater Lake, the police are put on high alert. Felicia Evans was known to be a tough character, but who would have strangled her?
Detective Beth Young quickly spots the links to three cold cases. Three women strangled and discarded in the stunning, wild hills of the Lake District.
As Beth begins tracking down witnesses, the team receives an anonymous letter claiming the charming mayor of Carlisle is behind the murders. There’s pressure from the top to clear his name. But Beth is determined to find the truth no matter whose feathers she ruffles in the process.
Beth knows the clock is ticking. The killer is hunting again. And it’s down to her to find who’s responsible before another woman becomes his prey…
A gripping edge-of-your-seat thriller from bestselling author Graham Smith, perfect for fans of Joy Ellis, LJ Ross, and J.R. Ellis.

My Review
If you enjoy thrillers, especially ones with a serial killer on the loose, then you can expect some graphic description. In this case though, it is a sexual attack on an old woman which shocks the reader to the core. I haven't read the first book, but this book read well as a standalone. The twists and turns are gripping and the ending both horrifying and satisfying. I loved the red herrings almost as much as the breathtaking scenery but for me, this book was just a bit too gruesome at times and I found myself reading those parts very quickly! Overall, an enjoyable read with a great ending.
