Being my second book by the author, I already knew what to expect to a point about this story and I wasn't disappointed at all, more so I was surprised by the turn that it took.
It starts with a few moments where Adrian is presented as a very self-aware male and being a detective helps more to make a better image of him as a reliable character.
When he rescues a woman from the river, his instincts kick in and he can't back away until he finds out who she is and what happened to her to be found almost dead.
We get two stories within the book, as in his personal love life with his partner Imogen and the case of Angela as she gets back to her life as if nothing happened after an ex-employee of her husband's company is found dead.
It's a very fast-paced story, with a mixture of characters that blend together perfectly in this gripping psychological thriller that will keep you on your toes until the last page. There are so many twists and turns that I thought I had them figured out but I didn't know anything honestly and that's what makes for a perfect story in my books.
There's one major element of the book that brings so much more attention and awareness of our real-life events because we don't hear or pay attention as much as we should and I'm happy that the author has done this with this story.
