Product Information

I’ve not spoken to my husband in 3 days as this was far more important. As always, this lived up to all expectations… It’s all there. And perfect. Clear your diary. Just sit and enjoy’. Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ And when more sinister killings take place, Kim realizes that this is undoubtedly the work of a more ominous figure.

I’d recommend this book to everyone. It’s a good read on its own and gives a good insight into something that many people today don’t know about the war. The book does mention the holocaust and some of what happened to people there, but it’s not overly descriptive or too disturbing to read and there is nothing really offensive in the book, apart from some characters saying derogatory slurs at others, although this shows what was happening at the time. Overall an amazing book that I’d recommend, and one I’ll be reading again! When the fresh body of a youthful woman is however discovered there by D.I Kim Stone and her team, it becomes apparent that the killer found the perfect play to hide their crime. The book outlines the true character of a sociopath; manipulation and evil. You will love to hate this sociopath. The character is well developed and interesting. Angela Marsons has managed to make the character to “pop” out of this book. The plot is intriguing and fantastic from the beginning of this book. However, there are disturbing and emotional scenes in this book. Some of these scenes are quite horrific. It gets into the psyche of the mind of a human being and shines a light into its every motive. This is a masterpiece which you cannot afford to miss reading.All across the USA, people are showing up dead. The deaths don't appear to be connected in any way until one particular death occurs and gets the Secretary of Defense's attention. He arranges for a task force to investigate. With only twenty-four hours to make every second of Steven’s interrogation count, and scan his behavior for hidden clues, Kim and her team soon link Steven to the abduction of several vulnerable girls – two were kept for a year and then released, unharmed – but where are Melody and the others? Genius… utterly compelling… will have you gripped to the end… comes with the mother of all twists!’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Making films about historical events is always risky, and the fine line between fact and fiction provided a rich source of ammunition for detractors. The objectors took particular delight in the moments when Olsen and Noyce departed from Pilkington's original story for the sake of drama, such as the harrowing sequence where the teenage girls are forcibly abducted from their families.I liked the plot twist (even though it’s horrid and hard to think about) that her parents used to work at the concentration camp that Wilf’s mother was killed at.

A victim dies after a single stab to the heart. A kind-hearted social worker lost in one act of violence. Then the body of a young woman is found dead by suffocation and Kim makes two chilling discoveries. The victim spent time at the clinic too, and her death was also staged to look like a suicide. When three more prostitutes are murdered soon afterwards, it becomes apparent that this is the work of a deraged serial killer. As D.I. Kim Stone and her team get to work, the gradually realize that their chances of rescuing the girls are growing slimmer by the hour.Whilst I have read biographies and fiction books about the holocaust, I have never read one about the period after the war ended. And how what happened during war time, could affect an innocent German girl in such a way, years later. Another cause lies in the desire of conservatives to defend the people who promoted the policy, many of whom also remain alive. The removal of part-Aboriginal children was advocated on the social Darwinist grounds that their full-blooded relatives were dying out. It was believed that the assimilation of these children into white society would ease the inevitable passing into extinction of the Aboriginal people. While Cher ignores the warning from workmate Dan that Michael is bad news, her friends have their own problems to fix. Sarah is longing to start a new life with a man who won’t commit, and bride-to-be Deb should be looking forward to her wedding, but her future mother-in-law is turning it into a nightmare from hell... If only her fiancé could see it that way. Going up against a deranged killer who is seemingly aware of all her weakness, Detective Kim needs to proceed with caution, given how every move could be lethal. As Kim continues to be troubled by what could very well be her most demanding case yet, she receives a frightening letter from Dr Alex Thorne—the sociopath who she put behind bars.

Summoned to the home of Samantha Brown, D.I Kim Stone finds the body of a young woman lying in bed, with her throat slit and a knife in her hand. Given that there is neither proof of forced entry nor struggle, then case is ruled as suicide. This is a follow up to Silent Scream. This is a book that makes for fantastic reading and clearly shows Angela’s mastery in crime stories. This story revolves around the mutilation in the brutal murder of a rapist. Eventually more killings come to light calling for more investigation because someone more sinister is at work. The investigations soon gain momentum and Kim finds herself endangered at the center of a lethal individual doing their own twisted experiment. This is basically a sociopath who knows Kim’s every weakness endangering every move Kim makes. Soon body count mounts and investigations intensify.

When Detective Kim Stone is called to a local business, what she sees leaves her speechless. The photo on the driving license bears little resemblance to the man laid out before her, and she knows she’s up against the most twisted killer she has ever encountered. When the two women cross paths during an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, it marks the beginning of an improbable friendship. And I also really like the relationship Inge has with Marta’s mother. But that was about all I really liked about the book. When a second text message is however received, the two families find themselves fighting each other over the life of their children. I’m not sure about this book. I thought the concept of the book was really good and the synopsis intrigued me.
