HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS AND REVIEW
The story begins when Jacinda’s days are well and truly numbered as a nanny to the Knox family. Both Sadie and Leonard Knox have been equally sadistic in the torture of Jacinda and overtime cut her off from her family, boyfriend and friends making her totally isolated, petrified and obedient to anything they wanted her to do. The Knox’s disappear with their two children, to set up again, this is not the first time and it won’t be the last.
When the police are called to the empty house they make a gruesome discovery in the back garden and in the cellar. DI Hero Nelson and his partner Julie Shaw have quite a task on their hands to identify the young woman and trace the missing family. There is a sense of urgency in the story as it goes between the investigation and tracing of the family to the grooming and selecting of the next victim that this horrendous couple has in mind as their next playing thing.
The chapters are at times lengthy giving the reader a good sense of what is going on, both with the couple and the investigation, and a good balance between home life and work for Hero, which worked well for me as I am coming into this series well into it. The writing is at times graphic, which some may find upsetting and it does have a strong sexual thread running through the story too. The tension had been instant and stayed that way because I knew what the end game was. A very gripping story.
I wish to thank Sarah Hardy of Book on the Bright Side Promo and Publicity for supplying me with an e-copy of this book which I have reviewed honestly.
