The Blurb

Three murders. Three innocent victims. What secrets did they share with their killer?

A bottle of bubble bath and colourful, plastic boats were scattered in small puddles on the floor. In the bathtub lay Linda Upton, fully-clothed, her lips a shade of blue, and her bloodshot eyes wide open.

When a young mother is found drowned in the bath, clutching a receipt saying ‘all debts paid’, Detective Robyn Carter knows it’s just the beginning of a harrowing case. She recognises the signs of a serial killer, and when a second victim with a receipt is found, her worst fears are confirmed.

With the local press whipping the public into a frenzy, Robyn is under pressure to solve the crime yesterday. But her team can’t find a link between the two bodies, and the cracks are starting to show.

Just when her leads have dried up, Robyn discovers an unsettling clue she thinks could unlock the case. But as she chases across the plush carpets and manicured lawns of the wealthy elite, honing in on the killer’s shocking motive, one of her own is put in terrible danger.

The press call him The Leopard for his stealth, speed and brutality. Can Robyn stop the most twisted killer of her career before it’s too late?

When you’re about to die will your secrets even matter?

My Thoughts

The second book in the DI Robyn Carter series and what a great read it was. The book is fast paced and kept me wanting to read just that little bit more every time I thought about putting it down. Took me 2 days to read, which for me is virtually unheard of. I honestly couldn't get the book out of my head I was totally engrossed in the world of DI Carter that Carol Wyer has created. The main characters are fantastic and develop from the last book without being repetitive. The killer is one hell of a nut job and although I did work out who they were and why they were doing it pretty early on in the book it didnt detract from my enjoyment.

One of my favourite book of 2017 so far and I cant wait to read the next.

A fantastic read and one I highly recommend.
