“You have to stop me from hurting anyone else. I don’t want to do these horrible things, I don’t want to kill anyone, but I have no choice. You have to understand that I have no power to stop.”
A killer who does not want to kill. A killer who wants to be stopped. DI Kim Stone has her hands full in this killer of a novel by Angela Marsons. This is book #13 a series which is still going strong! Kim Stone is a strong female character who has a sharp mind, a sharp tongue and will not stop until she gets to the bottom of things.
A young mother has gone missing at a busy shopping center. Her dead body is found later. What was the motive for killing her? Did the killer know the victim? Is this a random act of violence? Days later another victim is found. The killer writes a letter(s) to DI Stone. The plot thickens….
There is a lot going on in this book. Murders that do not make sense. There does not seem to be a rhyme or reason to the killings and what is with the scratches left on the bodies? How long has this killer been killing? How far back do these crimes go? Why does the killer want to be stopped?
Could this work as a stand-alone? Perhaps, but it is always so nice to see the continuing of each character’s storylines. The team is very likeable with great camaraderie and with each book we get to see them grow, fall in love, face hardships, grieve, form stronger bonds, get to know their loved ones, etc.
Another great installment!
