Summary

DI Kelly Porter is back, but so is an old foe and this time he won’t back down....

When a teenage girl flings herself off a cliff in pursuit of a gruesome death, DI Kelly Porter is left asking why. Ruled a suicide, there’s no official reason for Kelly to chase answers, but as several of her team’s cases converge on the girl’s school, a new, darker story emerges. One which will bring Kelly face-to-face with an old foe determined to take back what is rightfully his - no matter the cost. 

Mired in her pursuit of justice for the growing list of victims, Kelly finds security in Johnny, her family, and the father she has only just discovered. But just as she draws close to unearthing the dark truth at the heart of her investigation, a single moment on a cold winter’s night shatters the notion that anything in Kelly’s world can ever truly be safe. 

Don't miss this gripping crime thriller featuring a phenomenal detective. Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons and Patricia Gibney.

Bitter Edge

Some fairly basic mispronunciations in performance, but these did nothing to spoil the ingenious plot, and the developing characters in this series.

made it to chapter 9

I loved the reference to places I know from many visits to The Lake District but beyond that I couldn't bear to listen past chapter 10. it was just too slow and there were too many references that didn't add anything to the storyline. Maybe I've missed something but this story just didn't flow at all and felt amateurish and contrived.

Good story, narration stilted and distracting.

I liked the story but the narration is pretty odd, strange pauses which broke up sentences at the wrong point. It began to really irritate me.

Captivating to the end!

Fantastic plot twists and turns throughout, just as you think you have the murderer, off it goes in another direction.

I have been following the series, not completely in order but with this book I found Kelly's characture just a bit whining and leaning toward selfish and unpleasant. The relationship with her sister seems churlish and childish and I feel that angle has run its course
