I was about to read 'Back to Haunt You' by this author, but discovered it's the second in the DI Stone series. I do, a bit pedantically, like to read books in a series from the start, so, like Julie Andrews, I started at the very beginning with this*, #1.
Criminals and murderers don't stick to a timetable, making it very hard for DI Jennifer Stone to balance her work/family commitments. Two murders, three kidnappings and a red herring or two not only compound her struggles, but it becomes personal…very very personal. (See About the Book below.)
I really enjoyed this. It ticked every box for a good, suspenseful, psychological thriller: extremely well and articulately written, well characterised and carefully dialogued. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. It's perfectly paced with a dramatic and conclusive ending.
I read about 30-40 books a year, and amongst them, very often, I'll find my 'discovery of the year', and Englefield is definitely this year's candidate.
Now and I can dive into book #2 (and all future DI Stone thrillers)!
