Loved it! 😍

Deals with violent and mysterious crimes and the thrilling process of investigation.

The book is divided into two parts. Two parts portray two different time period. Detective constables Gemma Piper and Mark Heckenburg, who are also in a relationship with each other, confront two situations where they have to deal with terrible psychopath murderers. The book gives us an account of their investigation process and the dangers they have to overcome.

Heck and Gemma, both are strong characters but with subtle differences in their perception. The difference in the portrayal of their characters definitely helps the plot to advance.

In the first part, Heck and Gemma investigate a murder that happened six years ago considering the present situation of a girl named Ms Dorothy Bainbridge, who is in serious trouble. While investigating, they put their life at risk and ultimately find out the murderer to be a psychopath. The definite motive behind the murder is quite inexplicable.

The second part of the story deals with another group of psychopaths who launch organised attacks on specific people. The apparent logic or motive behind the murders, explained by them will surely make the readers grasp the real terror.

Both of these stories provide the readers with a detailed account of the process through which Heck and Gemma start to investigate. There are spine-chilling descriptions of murders in these short stories that add to the thrilling experience of going through the book.

I would like to recommend this book to all those readers who prefer short stories and are very much into the genre of blood-curdling crime and thriller.

Book enables a reader not only to escape reality but also makes them lost in a totally different world. I write book reviews that will help the readers to get a bit of idea and because they are spoiler-free, readers can pick up the right book at the right moment to get the most out of it.
