2000s: How do you catch a killer who leaves no trace?
Blood Lines ( DI Kim Stone 5)
What you need to know before your trail
A victim killed with a single, precise stab to the heart appears at first glance to be a robbery gone wrong. A caring mother and social worker lost to a senseless act of violence. But for Detective Kim Stone, something doesn’t add up.
When a local drug addict is found murdered with an identical wound, Kim knows instinctively that she is dealing with the same killer. But with nothing to link the two victims except the cold, calculated nature of their death.
Kim focuses on the case but when she receives a chilling letter from Dr Alex Thorne, the sociopath who Kim put behind bars, she knows that things have just gotten a whole lot worse. And this time, Alex is determined to hit where it hurts most.
The web of secrets and past personal pain slowly winds its tangled strands bringing the team closer together and the killer too. But is Kim, like the fly in the middle, just a sitting target?

Travel Guide
The Black Country
There’s something very ironic yet fitting that the Angela Marsons set of stories should be set in the Black Country as this tale is very dark and black. Going to a prison nearby to meet your arch rival and nemesis – sociopath and psychiatrist Alexandria Thorne from the novel Evil Games – is fitting. Imagine going to visit the person you fear the most – knowing she’s locked up but can control you from inside the cage.
Halesowen and Dudley feature once again and it’s blacker in the Black Country this time. Heading back into the same setting as Evil Games, the novel opens old wounds, puts salt in those wounds and then rubs it real good.
Visit the museum of The Black Country for another, historical and less evil history of the region!

Booktrailer Review
Clare: @thebooktrailer
Why I read Angela Marsons murdering mysteries at night is beyond me. I really should read them in broad daylight in the middle of a crowd as at least then I’ve have people to ask for help when it gets too chilling for comfort.
I thought I had recovered from meeting Alex Thorne from Evil Games but like the last time I watched Silence of the Lambs and thought I’d recovered from that but was wrong, I should have known. If this book were a film, then it would make the hairs stand on the back of your neck in the same way. The book certainly does!
It really is best to read these books in order I think for you get the most from past events and situations which explain some of Kim’s reactions now. Evil Games is a must.
Facing up to the past can never be easy but when there’s a sociopath with more answers than you, that makes for one adrenaline fuelled ride.
