This talented author gives us yet another wonderful thriller.
Red herrings galore.
Well written characters and Kate is a real star.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.
Five star thriller.

A woman approaches Katie and begs her to find her daughter who has gone missing.
Not long after, Katie finds the woman badly injured, and the woman says to find the Million Dollar Man.

Bodies are piling up, and Katie and her team are no closer to identifying the brutal killer.

I enjoyed this thriller, Katie is one of my favourite detectives.

The book is a little drawn out, and clues are found, but none are quite enough to identify the killer, never mind find him. He is elusive and a master of disguise.
But thanks to dogged detective work, and Katie's instincts, the maniac is hunted down.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the DRC.

This series can be compared to a jewelry box filled, up till now, with 13 precious gem stones!

The stories are filled with suspense and vicious killers on the one hand, but on the other hand a good series needs good characters as well. And who does not love the dynamic duo Katie and Gav? 

Having a good partner is very important for two detectives, but they would be nowhere without the rest of the team and police officers behind them to do research, forensics, door to doors, etc. If they all work together like a well oiled machine, a baddie does not stand any chance at all.

What this series makes this series even more appealing to me is the fact Katie has a dog, who was trained with her in the military and who helps her anywhere he can. I love for him to play an important part in the books, but I also always hopes he stays safe. I could not stand it for him to get hurt or even worse...

So yes, Katie and Gav face a very intelligent killer, but he should know he could never escape them. 

I am looking forward to the next book, because of the way this one ended. 5 stars of course. Who would have doubted this? :)

Thank you

Wow! This crime novel has it all. A relentless yet charming female protagonist - a detective with a military background and a canine partner. With her loyal and competent team, Katie Scott hunts down a diabolical psychopathic killer . I loved the team’s dynamism and resilience. It’s the first novel I’ve read by this author but not the last. Thanks, NetGalley, for sending this title for review. All opinions are my own.

Wow! What a burst of excitement! This is the type of thriller I so enjoy! Multiple possibilities of subjects, a group of law enforcement officers chasing down the killer, and most of all….Katie Scott at the head of the investigation! Loved the pace and hunt!

She hears footsteps approaching, the creak of the uneven planks, then the clunk of a heavy lock. Her body is numb and she’s shivering in her pale silk gown, but she stands, ready to fight as the doorway cracks open. A blinding light overpowers her, and she falls backward. Her world goes black once again… When Detective Katie Scott is approached by a smartly dressed woman with desperation in her eyes, Katie’s senses go into high alert. Moments later, questions still buzzing through her mind, Katie finds the woman dead in the carpark, blood pooling around her, and just enough life left to utter the words: find my daughter! Great read!!! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one! It had great suspense, murder, mystery, kidnapping, intriguing, serial killers, a great who done it and a few crazy twists! The story was very interesting! I highly recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

This talented author has written a page turner. Secrets and red herrings…realistic characters kept the story moving quickly. I like this series. Katie is an intriguing protagonist. Her co-workers and friends rally around her. She is a dedicated person. Thanks Netgalley.
