After loving Little Black Lies, I had very high expectations of this one and it fell short for me. I was pretty disappointed in it. The storyline was very dark and had some twists and turns that I didn't care for. Maggie Rose and Hamish Wolfe were the main characters, and they were both strange ones. This just wasn't my type of book.

Thanks so much for the ARC! I didn't enjoy this one as much as I thought I would though.

The handsome and charismatic Doctor Hamish Wolfe is currently serving a life sentence at Parkhurst Prison for the deaths of three women but there are those who believe he is innocent. He receives plenty of letters from admirers and even has a group, the Wolfe Pack, who along with his mother are advocating for his release and to that end they reach out the Maggie Rose.

The reclusive lawyer is known for her skill in casting doubt on other similar cases to Wolfe’s and she has helped several men get their sentences overturned. Maggie Rose doesn’t have to believe that the men are innocent but if there is some shred of doubt in the cases and she thinks she can win, she’ll take on the challenge.

As Maggie begins a correspondence with Hamish, she is also crossing paths more frequently with Detective Pete Weston. He urges her to be careful and she wonders if maybe his case against Wolfe isn’t as iron-clad as he made it out to be.

Detective Weston is intrigued by Maggie and despite his better judgement he will work with Maggie not to free Hamish but to prove his case and stay close to Maggie. He doesn’t understand how a smart woman like Maggie can be lured by Wolfe but then again so many other women have fallen under his spell and that’s how they met their fateful end.

The story is shaped by letters, newspaper articles and several narrative voices to give the reader a glimpse from all angles of the Wolfe case. The character interactions are fascinating especially between Wolfe and Maggie, and if there was ever a thriller with lots of twists and turns this is it. Get your hands on this book, clear off your calendar and be drawn into this intense thriller.

This is one of those books, where you say, "I didn't see that coming" Quite a few twists and turns. I thoroughly enjoy Sharon Bolton books.
