Wrong Victim
A man is found dead in his bed, suffocated, covered in confetti and with his ring finger missing. Detective Rachel King informs his daughter and takes her to identify the body.
But she’s never seen the man before in her life.
WHAT IF YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW WHO THE KILLER REALLY WANTED TO MURDER?
Then a second murder. This time a woman, Alison, also suffocated and with her finger severed and confetti strewn over her body. The team desperately search for a link before anyone else dies. Meanwhile, someone has been running a property scam, selling dream houses that will never be built. And the love of Rachel’s life has disappeared. Is he really the mastermind of a people-trafficking gang? Or does Rachel have enemies on her own team?
The third in the Rachel King series by Helen Durrant. I didn't feel that I had missed anything by not reading the previous two books and am glad that I didn't need to read them.
I didn't feel any empathy for any of the characters, none of them had any depth to them. As a team they didn't really seem to be working together just doing there own thing.
The holiday to Malaga just felt off. First Rachel says she hasn't any luggage only hand luggage and then she talks about a case? Would a woman get into an unknown car just because someone new her name and she was a police officer, don't buy that.
There was too much talking to members of the public and too much information being given out when it shouldn't have been.
Nothing was credible and it was all very rushed and convoluted.
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for my ARC in return for an honest review.
