Summary
Sometimes perfection is worth killing for…
The second gripping crime novel in an exciting new series. Ex-priest DI Frank Farrell finds himself on the trail of a vicious killer in rural Scotland. Perfect for fans of Stuart MacBride, James Oswald and Val McDermid.
Each murder brings him one step closer to the perfect death.
Ex-priest DI Farrell is called on to investigate a gruesome death in rural Scotland. All evidence points to suicide, except for one loose end: every light in the cottage was switched off. Why would he kill himself in the dark?
The question sparks a murder investigation that leads to the mysterious Ivy House, home of ‘The Collective’, a sinister commune of artists who will do anything to keep their twisted secrets hidden.
And when the remains of a young girl are uncovered on a barren stretch of coastline, Farrell realises that there is something rotten in this tight-knit community. Now he must track down a ruthless killer before another person dies, this time much closer to home…

Critic reviews
‘Dark, twisting and utterly absorbing; this series just gets better and better’ M. W. Craven, author of The Puppet Show
‘A pacy and dark police procedural with an original protagonist. DI Farrell is a character to cherish and Jackie Baldwin is a writer to watch out for. She’s going to be huge’ Michael Wood
‘An extraordinarily well crafted police procedural. A real page turner’ Tana Collins
‘Kept me hooked until the last page – Jackie Baldwin is back with her trademark assured characters and deft handling of the twists and turns in a fascinating plot’ Mary-Jane Riley
‘A complex, gripping and fast-paced thriller, handled by Jackie Baldwin with impressive skill and technique’ Aline Templeton

Not great
Stuck the entire book out in the hope it would pick up, but it was just so boring,
Reader was fine but the story just wasn’t.
Normally I smash an audio book out in no time, but this didn’t do it for me.

Disappointed
I have liked the other books in this series but this one really dragged and was just too boring. Too many different character and intersecting storylines so it was confusing and not enough to keep my attention fully.
