I didn’t realise this was book 5 in a series and I have to say it doesn’t appear to matter if the series is read in order or not; the plot and victims are centre stage and the DCI is just another character solving a murder and his back story doesn’t come in to it much at all. It’s a good book if anyone wants a plot twist and mystery BUT the only thing that really annoyed me was in the last few chapters you suddenly click and think “this guy is the missing link and the real evil in the crime” and the main character, whose a highly intelligent and educated woman, totally missed it until the very last page. Three good plot twists one after the other and actually an enjoyable read. Took me about four days to get through it.
