When a young boy discovers the body of a woman beneath a thick sheet of ice in a South London park, Detective Erika Foster is called in to lead the murder investigation. The victim, a beautiful young socialite, appeared to have the perfect life. Yet when Erika begins to dig deeper, she starts to connect the dots between the murder and the killings of three prostitutes, all found strangled, hands bound and dumped in water around London.
This is a good police procedural with a flawed detective and an interesting premise. It keeps you turning the pages right until the end. Although I have to say it doesn’t quite reach the heights of Angela Marsons’ DI Kim Stone. I received a copy of this novel via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
