Description
Just another day on the traffic-choked London motorway.
Until a body turns up near the M25 slumped behind the wheel of a car, a bag
tied over his head. A list of seemingly random numbers tucked under the wipers.
And the killer's signature: a child's toy left on the back seat.
The press call him The Road Ripper—a vigilante who hunts reckless
drivers on the M25. This is victim number 6.
DCI Arthur Law and rookie DS Ellie Buckland race to decipher the clues
before The Ripper strikes again. But he's always one step—and one murder—ahead.
His methods increasingly brutal. What exactly is this killer trying to
say? How many more people have to die? One thing is for sure: The Ripper won't
stop until he gets what he wants.
The Numbers is the first book in a series featuring DCI Law and DS Buckland.

An excellent crime thriller that had me hooked from the first page. Fast, pacey with well developed characters. For me, this book had it all - great detectives but some rivalry and deceptions; great descriptions of the murders although there was some repetition listing the victims and how they died; a military angle; a father daughter relationship angle and also the background of Law/Lau's previous life in Hong Kong. All these elements fitted together well and kept me hooked right until the last page. The ending left a few unresolved issues which, I hope, bodes well for a further installment in this series. Loved it!!

An exciting new voice in the UK crime genre. The plot has you gripped from the first page to the last. Admittedly I spotted the killer as soon as he was introduced but his motives were much more difficult to guess.
The conclusion perfectly sets the scene for the next instalment which I can't wait to read

for a first book in the series it was a really great start. the characters are interesting, and Arthur has had the most interesting back story that i have read in a while and i am looking forward to getting to know more about him.
I really enjoyed Eliie's character but i felt like she more of a side character than she was a main, and i hope in the second book we get more from her.
I really enjoyed reading this book and i will defiantly be continuing with the series, i gave it 4 stars
