Summary

Four victims.

Killer caught.

Case closed...or is it?

Christopher Masters, known as 'The Roommate Killer', strangled three women over a two-week period in a London house in November 2012. Holly Kemp, his fourth victim, was never found.

Until now.

Her remains have been unearthed in a field in Cambridgeshire, and DC Cat Kinsella and the major investigation team are called in, but immediately there are questions surrounding the manner of her death. And with Masters now dead, no one to answer them.

DCI Tessa Dyer, the lead on the 2012 case, lends the team a hand, as does DCI Steele's old boss and mentor, the now retired Detective Chief Superintendent Oliver Cairns.

With Masters dead, Cat and the team have to investigate every lead again.

But if you'd got away with murder, what would you do when the case is re-opened?

Most relevant

Very much in the same mould as the first two books, Sweet Little Lies and Stone Cold Heart. We follow a Metropolitan Police murder investigation through the eyes of young Detective Constable Cat Kinsella who came over from Ireland with her family some years ago.

To properly follow the family aspect of the story (Cat's Father and Uncle & their connections to organised crime), I think it would help if the books were read in sequence.

The main murder investigation aspect of the story is free-standing, although it involves many of the police colleagues that we met in the first two books.

Like the first two books, it is a very well written story, I could relate to the police as ordinary people going to work and doing a job just like everybody else. This is the main strength of the book, we can relate to the police as real people. The story was perhaps a little slow to get going, but a cracking good last 3 hours of listening, and reasonably complicated. As good as the first two books.

The narrator was OK, just a rather dodgy French accent.

The ending leads us to believe that this will be the last Cat Kinsella book, at least in the form we've come to know.
