MY REVIEW

Normally, I don't like to start reading a series from the middle.  Always starting from book 1.   I made an exception here because this book just sounded so good.    Although I would imagine I would get a lot more out of this book had I read the first few books in this series, I had no trouble picking it up, learning all the characters (some of whom I assume are the 'regulars' in the series) and following the plot.  I liked how the author changed character perspectives on most chapters, that was one of the reasons why it was easy to follow because of the reasons above and because there are quite a few characters in this story.   We follow the detectives investigating a murder, a woman who is a trapped somewhere, a woman who was in the wrong place at the wrong time and a woman who has had a run of bad luck and looks to some newly found friends for help. 

A very creepy novel that really highlights the fact that you should really not trust anybody apart from your nearest and dearest!
