Dark, diabolical, deadly, and devious! Evil in the Family is the thrilling, shocking, and gripping third book in the Dr Olivia Winter series. In this book, families are being murdered and left in the most horrific poses. Detective Inspector Foley is not prepared for what welcomed him at the first crime scene. He fears that London has a new serial killer on the loose!
As I mentioned, the murderers are horrific and vile. The killer is vicious and maniacal. The killer’s crimes will have shivers going up your spine and the hairs standing up on the back of your neck! As the investigation progresses, Detective Inspector Foley decides to call in Forensic Psychologist Dr Olivia Winter to help catch the killer. Olivia is no stranger to serial killers. Her own father is a known serial killer and his crimes haunt her. The killer is very crafty and leaves no clues or DNA behind. It will be hard to catch this fiendish and evil killer, but Foley and Winter will do whatever it takes to make sure the killer is brought to justice.
This book is not for the faint of heart. There are some gruesome scenes and descriptions of posed dead bodies. But if you can stomach it, Evil in the Family is a gripping book which shows those in law enforcement doing what they do best. Michael Wood, who also writes the amazing Matilda Darke series, knows how to write police procedural/mystery thrillers. The investigators are human, and their reactions to the crime scenes feel both real and relatable.
As with books in this genre, I tried my best to figure out whodunit. Michael Wood led me down a few dark pathways and then left me reeling when the final reveal is made! Evil in the Family is brimming with tension, unease, dread, violence, danger, and suspense! I always get excited when I see Michael Wood has a new book coming out, and he never disappoints me!
