DI Jack Brady has been called out to a murder scene by DCI Gates. Brady
is in rough shape having survived a gunshot wound to his leg, but not
the divorce papers handed to him by his wife. He has been down and out
for months. His DS, Harry Conrad has picked him up very early in the
morning. Can they get back to a good working relationship?
Arriving at the scene, they find that a girl has been strangled and then
her face smashed beyond recognition. Brady is sure that she knew her
killer. When he gets to the police station, he meets with DI Matthews,
who had been taken off the case. Matthews lets him know that he had
been with the girl earlier in the night. He asks Brady to help him.
DCI Gates tells Brady that he is bringing in Dr. Amelia Jenkins, a
psychologist to help with the case. Brady is unsure as to what she can
offer, but reluctantly goes along. The pathology report indicates that
the victim, although only 15, had been sexually active. It is also
determined that she was likely sexually abused as a child. Naturally
Brady's thoughts turn to her stepfather, but a photograph in her bedroom
also seems to point a finger at her maths teacher.
Author Danielle Ramsay puts together a gripping murder mystery that the
reader will find hard to put down. Surprises await as DI Brady
investigates leading to a shocking conclusion. I'm going to be looking for
the next books in this series.
