Summary

On a cold winter's morning, the body of a young boy is discovered in Epping Forest.   

The body is pristine and peaceful, his head resting gently on a pillow, an angel pendant clenched in his small fist. It is a murder as carefully planned as it is brutal, and there's one person DI Bishop needs back on his team to help solve such a calculated crime.   

Holly Wakefield, clinical psychologist for the Met Police, is better than anyone Bishop knows at getting inside the brains of psychopaths. But with the body count rising, it's going to take all Holly's strength to dive into the murky mind of someone who preys on young boys.

And all Bishop's resolve to stop the serial killer before any more angels are put to their rest.

The second gripping thriller in the Holly Wakefield series, from the acclaimed author of When Darkness Calls. A dark and twisted serial killer thriller perfect for fans of Val McDermid, Mark Billingham, Stuart MacBride and TV crime series Luther.

Brilliant

I absolutely loved this book. Holly Wakefield is a criminal profiler who works with the police to identify suspects in a murder case. The insight into a murder’s mind is fascinating and horrifying at the same time. I will definitely be reading more from this author.

Confused me at the start

Confused me at the start , really found it hard to try follow , but the latter part of the book had me hooked .. that’s when all the rest of the book fell in place

Disturbing and highly unsettling

I was delighted to see this released in audio, I very much enjoyed the first in this series and was not disappointed with this second release.

This story is convoluted in the extreme, Holly makes a fantastic character who would most certainly translate onto screen very well, she has her secrets but we, the readers are allowed to know those secrets and we hold them dear.

The killer in this book is one nasty character, Holly plays a blinder with tracking him down ('helping' to track him down) and the ending in not as stunning as the first in the series but the book is still worth every second of listening and every penny of your money.

Tamsin Kennard narrates this beautifully as she does with 'When Darkness Calls'.

My recommendation is to buy it now.

Holly Wakefield -Book 2

Holly Wakefield, criminal psychologist who sometimes works for the Metropolitan Police. One cold winter's morning she is called out when a young boy is discovered in Epping Forest, lying peacefully, with his head on a pillow, dead.

Working with DI Bishop and his team she sets out to solve the mystery as other bodies start turning up in similar circumstances.

Enjoyable and entertaining but not quite 5☆.
