To Before following the life of Quinn, whose world is turned upside down by an admirer and her unfolding story.
What I liked especially was the scene where they ask a profiler to help them to identify the person behind it all.Although entirely well deserved, the role does not come without its challenges and Ava finds herself, more often than not, shouldering the brunt of the investigations she leads, getting up close and personal with the truly gruesome and horrifying aspects of these crimes. There were so many different possibilities floating around my head, it really got my imagination working over time which I loved. No spoilers here but just a wholehearted recommendation for fans of the police investigation/ crime thriller genre. Turner is the character focus for this book in the series; she's an intense, committed officer who's going through grief and crisis during the book whilst tackling a traumatic and violent serial bomber. She currently commutes between Hampshire, Scotland and California, where she lives with her husband and three children.
Its so complex and well written, there are twists and turns and it keeps you hooked right through til the end! I did not realise that this was the latest in a long series of books with the same characters, and usually that would deter me from reading as they can be full of in jokes and vague background stories that the reader needs to know about before enjoying the latest offering. Saying that, the case and its escalation work independently and provides a high paced, thrilling read. This book can be read as a stand-alone but I would recommend reading the series from the beginning to get the background of the great characters. The ones that you just can't switch off from and that linger in your mind for a good while afterwards?The ending was absolutely brilliant and without giving away any spoilers has been the very best yet! Quinn, one of the key victims (in the 'before' chapters) was an amazing character, full of strength, love and vitality, so well written and well rounded, I felt as though I actually knew her. The writing is seriously clever, the actions of the killer make this book truly terrifying, but the twists add another level of surprise that truly leave you in awe and on the edge of your seat. I just finished One for the Sorrow and it was just brilliant, I feel like all my emotions were put in the tumble dryer on high speed spin for 8 hours, what a ride that book was.
Along the way, Fields pushes red herrings and twists skillfully to keep the intrigue and tension building. The plot has everything from despair to danger and inconceivable violence that seems to defy explanation. Other highlights of my read included Dr Connie Woolwine’s appearance (from Helen Fields’ standalone The Shadow Man). This is Helen Fields’ END GAME and once the dust has settled we’re going to have to deal with the fall-out.The relationships between the characters are so believable and natural, that you can truly picture the conversations and connections between the characters leaving you not just invested but feeling them really come alive.
Great Deal
