DCI Matilda Darke has returned to work after a nine month absence. A shadow of her former self, she is tasked with re-opening a cold case: the terrifyingly brutal murders of Miranda and Stefan Harkness. The only witness was their eleven-year-old son, Jonathan, who was too deeply traumatized to speak a word. Then a dead body is discovered, and the investigation leads back to Matilda's case. Suddenly the past and present converge, and it seems a killer may have come back for more…

Thoughts

Having enjoyed Chapter One by the author, I thought I’d have a look at his thriller series with DCI Matilda Darke. It was pretty traditional - troubled detective wrestling with a significant case - but I still enjoyed it. It was interesting how the cold case and the current case mixed together and ended up being vital to each other. I’ll read some more in this series, I reckon.
