Description
Catching a serial killer takes more than good police work, it entails knowing what makes the most disturbed minds tick…
Bodies of women are found, cruelly killed and callously discarded around the city of Milton Keynes. Detectives Adam Trent and Lucrezia Sabbatini of the Major Crimes Unit don’t know what to make of it.
Despite commonalities in the victims’ appearance there are enough differences to rule that out as a reason. The police don’t even know if they are looking for one perpetrator, or more.
With precious little to go on and tensions running high, when a local woman goes missing in similar circumstances, Trent and Sabbatini must track down the killer fast.
But do the detectives have what it takes to descend into the darkest depths of the human psyche to discover the killer’s motive?
Woe betide them if they do…

This is my first novel by Denver Murphy and I hope that it won’t be my last. After reading the blurb, I was hoping that this book would keep my interests long enough to finish it. I was enthralled from page one. This book is very well written with enough mystery and suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time you are reading it. I had no idea The Who Dunn it part until the very end even though I pride myself on at least having an idea. The characters are so well crafted that you believe you are right there with them. The police work and detail is spot on and allows you to understand policies and procedures even if they were not true….you would have no idea. Very well written as the author definitely knows how to write a suspense/mystery.
5++++ stars out of 5

If you love a bit of everything, no love story here, It had suspense, murder, serial killer, mystery, then this one is for you. It was so well written, I could not figure out who was the serial killer. That says a lot about a book. You have to keep reading. Forget what you had scheduled, this one will make you NEED to finish.
A very good book, I requested this mainly because of the cover but once I got into the book I knew I had made the right choice, absolutely brilliant from the first page and once I couldn’t put down
This is the type of book to take on a long plane trip as it will keep you immersed from first page to last. It’s a true thriller with a strong focus on fast pace and a mystery which is complex enough to keep you working on the solution. Really enjoyed this.

Initially when I started this book I was not sure how I was going to feel about it, I had not heard of the author and was wondering if this was going to turn out be an enjoyable afternoon reading this book, I was initially drawn in by the cover. Fortunately, I was taken in right with the quality of writing from the beginning and that feeling was still there as I read the last page.
This is a difficult case for Trent and Sabbatini from the Major Crimes Unit. Firstly I felt that these two made a great team, they had not worked together before and I feel that Denver Murphy did an excellent job of realistically developing the relationship between them at this early stage (hoping they will feature in future books). After another victim goes missing, these two are not sure what they are actually up against but they both know they need to act fast or more women will die. This killer is not leaving a lot of clues and the whole team is under the pump trying to find anything to go on. Meanwhile our killer has free reign to conjure up more of his sick fantasies.
I will definitely be looking out for more books from this author as I very much enjoyed this book and am grateful to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an advanced copy of the book, all opinions are my own.

Decent book with a story that has been done before. I generally like a big plot twist at the end, but this didn’t quite keep me guessing the whole way through. Enjoyable, quick read.
YOUR COLD EYES by Denver Murphy is a dark, twisty and twisted novel about the hunt for a serial killer in Milton Keyes.
When DCI Adam Trent is partnered up with newby, DC Lu Sabbatini, to track down a local serial killer, he’s none too happy. But this pairing goes together like wine and cheese. As they both bring different perspectives and ideas to the hunt they are able to add up the pieces to complete the puzzle.
I loved their powers of deduction and the interplay between male and female ideas. Although brief, I also enjoyed their banter. This was a quick read that I really enjoyed getting lost in, and even though it wasn’t a big whodunnit, it was interesting to go along on their hunt. Although this is my first Denver Murphy mystery, it won’t be my last. I can’t wait to see where this author takes me next.
