3.75 / 5

I do have to admit although this book is up there, it’s not as good as the first breakthrough book. I think it’s the agenda pushed behind the book that took alway ounces of the true plots quality but nevertheless a good sequel. I am invested and intrigued to see the direction of the third book! I found the book an easy read, easy to follow plot and easy to grasp. I do think it’s the help from the first book and having that knowledge and understanding there that added to the experience, so I highly recommend those to that start the series to read the first one as this follows the events after.

DCS Kat Frank and AIDE Lock return back, after the reports of a man found crucified at her top of a rubbish mountain (mount Judd), Frank and Lock are tasked to find the killer. A considerable step up from solving historic missing cases. Soon after another body shows up crucified on a farm, pressure is mounting on her to deliver. With personal pressures from her life and work life Kat is put under pressure to be on top of her private and professional life. We gain an insight to the struggles Kat faces and the toll this has on her.

Maybe it’s the way the plot develops or maybe the strategic writing of Callaghan but I was stumped at who the culprit was and surprised at the reveal of the twist. I think my only issue or negative is the hard push on the agenda of the book which dominated a lot of the plot. But I do have to say the amount of politics thrown on this book is alot more than I anticipated. Overall it’s not bad read, worth having a read given that it’s not heavily sci fi focused and still has strong police procedures shown. Excited to see what the next book is installed.
