Description
The girl emerged from the woods, barely alive. Her story was beyond belief. But it was true. Every dreadful word of it. Days later, another desperate escapee is found - and a pattern is emerging. Pairs of victims are being abducted, imprisoned then faced with a terrible choice: kill or be killed. Would you rather lose your life or lose your mind? Detective Inspector Helen Grace has faced down her own demons on her rise to the top. As she leads the investigation to hunt down this unseen monster, she learns that it may be the survivors - living calling cards - who hold the key to the case. And unless she succeeds, more innocents will die... (p) Penguin Books Limited, 2014 ? ? M. J. Arlidge, 2014

I enjoyed the investigation side of the story but the twist didn't land for me. I wasn't convinced by the killer's motivation, and the ending wrapped everything up too quickly.I'll probably give the next book a go and see if the series grows on me though.

Very interesting original premise, I don't think I've seen this in movies or other books. I liked the fast pace of the story. It got a bit confusing because it took me a bit to understand whose POV I was reading from at the beginning of each chapter (and there are a lot of POVs). Can't say I'm defective Grace's biggest fan, but I don't think I'm supposed to be. Easy to read, fast paced, wrapped up a bit too quickly.
