I just finished a great mystery read. Fatal Endings was a book that kept my mind occupied until the last chapter!

Fatal Endings by Anita Waller kept a fast pace and had good police procedural elements that held my interest.

When the murdered body of a woman is found in a Sheffield parking lot, former cop turned private investigator Matt Forrester finds himself embroiled in the case because the last call the victim made was to him.

But the case isn’t as simple as the drug theft it looks like, and when a young boy becomes the next victim, Matt and his life partner, DI Karen Nelson, realize they’re investigating a terrifying series of revenge killings.

I liked this book and liked the characters and how the author unraveled the mystery.

Nobody is safe… When the murdered body of a woman is found in a Sheffield carpark, former cop turned private investigator Matt Forrester finds himself embroiled in the case, because the last call the victim made was to him!! Fantastic read! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one! This book had suspense, intrigue, action, murder, mystery, a great who done it and a few twists and turns. The story was interesting! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

This is a good book! It is definitely nerve wracking trying to figure out who the killer as as more and more people are murdered. There are 5 murders this police mystery is investigating. The pacing is good and fast, it kept me reading to get to the end faster. The characters were written well, and I enjoyed it, thank you to NetGalley, author, and publisher for the arc in exchange for my honest review!!!

I remember reading the first book in this series and finding it a bit too cosy and soft centred. That’s certainly not the case here as there are five fatalities and a palpable sense of threat. It certainly lives up to its title! The central character Matt runs a private detective agency. He is ex police and his wife Karen is a senior detective. Anita Waller does a good job on characterisation and even relatively minor characters are brought to life and given a distinctive identity. There isn’t a lot of mystery associated with the murder investigation, but the procedural elements have a ring of authenticity about them and focus on the teamwork required to secure a successful outcome. I always find it a bit hard to swallow when ordinary citizens and private detectives solve crimes so I was pleased that the focus was very much on the police at the novel’s resolution.
