Why a Booktrail?
2000s: A serial killer thriller with a difference
Truly Darkly Deeply
What you need to know before your trail
Twelve-year-old Sophie and her mother, Amelia-Rose, move to London from Massachusetts where they meet the charismatic Matty Melgren, who quickly becomes an intrinsic part of their lives. But as the relationship between the two adults fractures, a serial killer begins targeting young women with a striking resemblance to Amelia-Rose.
When Matty is eventually sent down for multiple murder, questions remain as to his guilt — questions which ultimately destroy both women. Nearly twenty years later, Sophie receives a letter from Battlemouth Prison informing her Matty is dying and wants to meet. It looks like Sophie might finally get the answers she craves. But will the truth set her free — or bury her deeper?

A London tour of murder sites
There are numerous locations mentioned in the novel but only to denote crime scenes. This book could take place anywhere but London is a big anonymous city and it’s easy to get lost in the maze of streets as do the characters.
The sites are dotted around the city and it’s a grim booktrail at that, but the real setting is inside the mind of a suspected killer, a young girl and her mum. The prison setting is also done well but BattleMouth prison is of course fictional.
