“The problem with surviving was that you ended up with the ghosts with everyone you ever left behind riding on your shoulders.” – Paolo Bacigalupi
It’s been nine months.
Nine months since the brutal attacked claimed so many lives. Nine months since Matilda Darke was shot in the head. The Nightmares have not ended, lives have been changed, that pain never leaves, and friendships have been altered.
But there is a job to do. Murdered women are being found and the team, already strained from that tragic day nine months ago, are investigating. Matilda has returned to work, and she is trying wear many hats. A case from the past, which haunted, her has been solved, but this new case is hitting close to home….
The last book Time Is Running Out gutted me. I could not believe what I was reading. It had me on the edge of my seat, heart pounding, tears spilling, and I worried that the series was going to end. But it has gone on and readers get to be spectators watching this team still crippled with grief, PTSD, and nightmares, pick themselves up and attempt to move on. Their pain is raw and palpable. They dive into this new case, investigating the murders of prostitutes, while their killer always seems to be one step ahead of the team.
This book kept me on my toes, doing my own detective work, trying to figure out the identity of the killer. I didn’t even come close and was just as blindsided as the team. HOLY MOLY! What a shocker that was!!! I needed to pick my jaw up off the floor (well, really my kindle).
Michael Wood always has a few aces up his sleeve, and he didn’t hold back with this book either. I thought he did a tremendous job showing how trauma and loss affects people. He was able to draw me in, toy with my emotions and blow me away.
Another solid installment in the Matilda Drake Series and I can’t wait for the next book in the series.
Powerful, shocking, and intense!
