MY REVIEW
Quite an intriguing tale drafted by author Anna-Lou Weatherley with Dan Riley as the investigating officer.
A woman had been hit by a hammer and her throat partially cut. She survived. Dan was the cop looking into that. Amnesia made the waters murky when the woman couldn’t remember anything. It took a complete team effort to get to the bottom of the mystery
With multiple POVs and dual timelines, the story was easy to guess, yet it was so entertaining. I liked Daisey’s survival spirit and the killer’s psychotic one. The author managed to make me feel sympathy for the killer. Ironic, yet amazing. Power of words, I would say.
This was book 4 in the series, but I didn’t remember anything if the earlier books and had no problems reading this one. I enjoyed the snippets of his personal life. The book had a humane touch to it which made it a fast read.
The smooth flow, intriguing mystery, and twisted plotline made this a rocking read. Time just flew by while I was stuck to this book.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher, and this is my journey down its pages, straight from the heart. STRICTLY HONEST and UNBIASED.

Wonderful review! I’ve enjoyed her writing in the past so I will definitely keep this one in mind. xx
The book sounds interesting!! Great review. Loved reading your thoughts about it.
Psychological thrillers give me the chills; I think this one would qualify. Lots of twisted questions!
More like a police procedural… But has its dark minds
I missed this ARC. Read the blurb and saw the cover but didn’t know its an addition to the Dan Riley series. A great review, Shalini. Glad you enjoyed this one.
It was fun. Easy to guess yet it pulled me in
