I used to adore this series and then I hated the last two books. So much so, that I nearly didn’t read this one. However, I am pleased to say that the storytelling I fell in love with is back. Now, this is an extremely heavy topic and a tough read at times but it is written sensitively and is a powerful story of fighting against abuse and corruption. I also really appreciate that Michael Wood starts the book with a trigger warning for child abuse. Matilda is back to working with her team and the lovable bunch work well together. After the last two books, it was nice to see my favourite characters healing. The tension builds as you try and work out who can be trusted and how they will ever get the evidence needed for a historic case. With the victim being an evil person, you kind of forget they’re supposed to be hunting a killer too. My only issue with this book is the fatphobia. They constantly talk about how hideous the villain was because he’s fat and how he was an abuser because no one wanted to have sex with him or would ever love him because he was so fat. I received a copy of the ebook via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
