Chilling and compelling police procedural!

This is number 7 in the Frieda Klein series and I read this one as a stand-alone and it worked out just fine. I was easily drawn into the world of Freida Klein-psychologist and respected police consultant.

A serial killer that was believed to be dead is out for revenge and Frieda and her family are targeted. I really enjoyed the character of Frieda and how she is both intuitive and pro-active in her quest for justice.

The book is very engaging and builds suspense throughout which makes it so easy to get lost in the reading. There are some disturbing scenes, but they are not overly graphic and I was able to easily skim over them. There is one more book to come that will end this series. I have already purchased two more books so I can read from the beginning!

If you enjoy strong police/detective procedurals that build suspense throughout, this would be a great series to try out!

Thanks to Edelweiss for my ARC. On sale January 2018.

Jules I'm not a fan of police procedurals, but I'm glad you enjoyed it, Holly. I have a feeling I've read a book by this author. Something like Losing You. I'll have to look it up in a moment. I really enjoyed it though 😊

I checked and it is called Losing You. I really enjoyed it. You don't live in the UK do you, Holly. If you did, I could have sent you my paperback copy, as I've already read it :-)

I assumed you were in Texas from the TX on your profile, but wasn't sure. Ooh, I had no idea Nicci French is a husband/wife duo. You learn something new every day ;-)
