Final Betrayal

DI Lottie Parker and DS Mark Boyd have just been handed a missing persons case.  The daughter of a local councillor hasn’t shown up after the weekend.  He is very worried and indicates that his daughter’s best friend is also missing.

Two days later the bodies of the two young women are found in a derelict house.  Alongside the bodies are found blank coins.  Is it the calling card of the killer?  Superintendent McMahon wants the killer found immediately.

On top of this, Lottie finds out from her half brother that he has had his twin sister released on day parole from the insane asylum.  This issue is magnified by the fact that she has escaped from him, and could be anywhere.  She has killed in the past and is a threat to Lottie’s family.

In the bedroom of one of the victims a threatening note is found with another coin.  Her father knows nothing about it.

Then two more young women are found murdered.  One has a connection to one of the previous victims.  Once again coins were found with the bodies and at the home of one of the victims.

As the body count mounts, Lottie’s daughters go missing.  They become her priority, can they be found before they end up dead like the other women?

Author Patricia Gibney’s thriller is very fast paced and full of tension.  As the reader, you will find yourself turning the pages wondering what is going to happen next.  This was a thoroughly enjoyable read.
