Blurb
It's been a long time since the Hardwicke family has been on holiday. But thirteen-year-old Galen has wanted to see the wild dolphins at Scotland's Chanonry Point for as long as she can remember, and her mother Christine – a lone parent since her beloved husband left – is determined she gets her wish. But their serene trip is about to be interrupted.
When DC Saul Anguish is called to investigate the shooting of an ex-police officer in Midtown-on-Sea, Essex, he quickly discovers that this is the first in a string of killings by Missy and Fox, a damaged young couple hell-bent on infamy, their love story etched in blood. In pursuit, Saul follows their trail north.
The paths of the Hardwickes' and the deadly couple are about to collide. When Saul and his forensic linguist partner, Blue, arrive on the scene, they witness the unthinkable: a mother forced to make an impossible choice.
Saul must uncover the truth about the couple. But can he find the strength to lay the ghosts of his past to rest before they break him?
My Opinion
I have heard some great things about this book so I just knew that I had to read it. This is the first book that I have read by Fiona Cummins so I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, but I am not sure this was it. This was a gripping read in ways that is hard to put into words without giving away any spoilers.
With a dark storyline that heavily contrasts with the scenery that Cummins has described beautifully, you can feel the evil dripping from this book. This will take you on a ride that you will want to get off - but it isn't possible to escape once you have started. This really is one of those books that you will have to read to know what you are missing out on.
Rating 4/5
