Full review to follow.

Another brilliant offering from Ms Marsons, this time centred around cults and murder. Really makes you stop and think about the powerful ways in which these kind of communities prey on the vulnerable, even those who don’t believe they are. The author has struck a brilliant balance between being informative and entertaining, whilst also letting Bryant off the leash a little with a side story of his own.

Great to see the team in action again. Penn is continuing go to grown on me, filling that certain void, and seeing Tiff back in the thick of things was great too as we get to learn more about her on a personal level.

Another brilliant book in the series of Kim Stone. These books just get better and better everytime. Wasnt sure of the author when I first started reading but boy I'm hooked

Thank you for letting me review this title.

I absolutely love Angela Marsons and have read all the Kim Stone books. I feel like I’m part of the team, working alongside them all to catch the killer. All other books are abandoned when AM has a new release.

This title did not disappoint, it grabs you by the scruff of the neck and runs with you.

You’ve heard about cults right? You’d never be that stupid to fall for their tricks and mind games would you? Well, let’s see what you think after you’ve finished this fantastic book.

There is just something extremely special about the D.I Kim Stone series that just gets me hooked as soon as I’ve read the first page. I know I’ve said it before on other reviews from this series, but each of the characters on Kim Stone’s team just stands out in their own right, and all have their own stories to tell as we go along, and all with different senses of humour and personality traits shining through. There are some great one liners and quick witted comebacks in this book which really made me laugh. This for me, is a massive strong point to this series as you connect with each and everyone of them, and as the series goes on, they all come more and more to the forefront.

This book felt slightly different to me which I think was down to the vulnerability of some of the characters involved within the theme of the book (trying hard not to give spoilers) and there was quite a few scenes that made me feel quite emotional. There is a particular scene near the end with Stacey and another character and oh my days, I had to put the book down as it was just so touching and beautifully written, as is the very last scene with Kim and one of her team... just so lovely.

My reviews will never do this series justice as for me, it is just beyond words as to how brilliant this series is and how it just goes from strength to strength with each instalment.

Angela Marsons never fails to rack up the suspense and in this book she gives us two stories to whet our appetites.
We have Unity farm which claims to merely be like minded people living and working together but is it actually a front for something much more sinister? At the same time DS Bryant is preoccupied with a potential parolee whose crimes stretch back more than 25 years. I loved the addition of PC Tiffany (Tinks), another young officer for Kim to take under her wing. She becomes more maternal towards her team as the stories move on. All in all a great read, exactly what I have come to expect from Angela Marsons, roll on the next one.

I would like to thank the author, the publisher and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read an ARC of this book, as always with this series it drew me in from the first page and didn't let me go until the end. Another new theme and one I knew very little about in this book, and my heart was in my mouth more than once, cannot recommend this book highly enough.
