What this book is about
Sharon Bolton's first Lacey Flint thriller opens with DC Lacey Flint discovering a dying woman who whispers a message to her — and links to a Jack the Ripper-style murder spree that seems directed at Lacey specifically. Bolton's crime fiction is distinguished by its extremely graphic crime scene descriptions and sustained psychological tension. The Ripper parallels are intelligent and the plotting is tight. For adult crime readers comfortable with graphic content.
