The next thrilling instalment in John Carson's utterly gripping DCI Liam Brodie series. Perfect for fans of J D Kirk and Ed James.

Some killers are caught.

Others simply go into hiding…

DCI Liam Brodie is no stranger to horror. Seven years ago, he led the hunt for a murderer who killed seven women, leaving their bodies out on display like some kind of morbid exhibition. Never any witnesses; never any clue as to who he was. The press called him The Embalmer. Brodie called him a monster.

Now, seven years later, the killings have started again. Same method. Same pattern. Same nightmare.

Brodie is called back to Fife to lead the investigation. But this time, the killer isn't just repeating the past—he's rewriting it. And Brodie isn't just hunting a serial killer… He's being hunted.

About two and a half hours in, I figured out the “Embalmer”, which kind of ruined the novel for me. However, I didn’t know his motivation, so that kept me interested. The “Embalmer” had one interaction with Brodie, which confirmed it. Rather disappointing. Ah well. Angus King remains brilliant!

Figured it out too soon

I enjoyed this book. It carries over from the first book and you get answers to the outstanding case. The writer also gives you clues to an unsolved case that Liam finally solves. I like when we as readers get enough information so that we can solve the case ourselves. For those that can’t handle multiple cases like in the first book, this one has only one complex case.

Excellent Complex Story

Whow what a story, kept me listening all day, and I’ll never take a drink unless the owner has one first. Again Angus had you in tender hooks at times, fantastic narrator
