Who really is The Slayer (and no, it is not Buffy)

I was intrigued by the blurb of this story. Told by multiple narrators, you never know who you can believe.

The main characters, though at first a little caricacturish (particularly Lara) developed well through the story. Over the 20 years of the storyline we see their lives and careers,

You can't help but get frustrated with the "we gotta get someone in gaol, no matter who they are" attitude of the police. I wanted to throw my book at them at times. I am sure this is still happening in real life too, which leaves the read with a bit of discomfort - who knows, this could happen to any of us really.

I was left guessing about whom the real killer was, and I was completely surprised when it was revealed - this does not happen much, as I usually have a bit of an idea who the bad guy is.

This was my first Tony Cavanaugh read, and it won't be my last. I will be looking out for more in the future.
