Dead to Me by Stephen Edger – Blog Tour – Book Review

It’s my turn on the Stephen Edger Dead to Me book tour today.  It is such a pleasure and I am so excited to be included in the tour as I loved everything about this book it was awesome.

Wow this book was fantastic, right from page one I knew it was going to be a cracking read, it totally had me hooked and I didn’t want to put it down until I had finished it.  Kate is a very dedicated and driven police officer whose private life is a mess. You can’t help but like her.  She is trying hard but struggling at times to fit in with her new team at work and the arrival of her estranged daughter. On top of this she has a killer to catch who always seems to be one step ahead.

This book has a lot going for it; it is gritty, brutally honest in places and full of suspense.  It also had a dark creepy atmosphere in places.  Can people really get into your house whilst you are at home asleep or in the shower and leave notes? – probably! I really found this book hard to put down. It totally had me gripped right the way through.

I can’t wait for the next book, Stephen Edger has the makings of a really good series here   Kate was great I feel that she may have a long but rocky career ahead of her and I am looking forward to getting to know her and her team better in future books.

How do you catch a killer who knows your every move?

The woman lay flat on the table, her face to one side, her wrists bound with thick tape. Deep scratches marked the wood beneath her fingers, now resting cold and still…

When a woman’s body is found in an abandoned bar near the Southampton docks, Detective Kate Matthews is called in to lead the investigation. She must solve this case to prove she is coping with the death of a close colleague.

Kate knows a pile of ripped up newspaper cuttings discovered at the victim’s house must be a piece of the puzzle, but her team keep hitting dead-ends… Until she finds a disturbing clue that convinces her of three things: The murder is linked to the body of a man found hanging in a warehouse, she is on the hunt for a calculated serial killer, and the killer is watching her every move.

Kate realises there will be another victim soon, and that her own life is in grave danger, but no one else believes her theory. Can she find and stop the most twisted killer of her career, before another life is lost?

An absolutely NAIL-BITING thriller that will keep you guessing to the very last page. Perfect for fans of Robert Dugoni, James Patterson and MJ Arlidge.
