Georgina Martin wakes up during the night to find her husband brutally murdered and herself having been attacked, while her son sleeps in the next bedroom. Suspicions are raised by the investigating detectives, but no real suspects at first.
Detective Elizabeth Ireland was a detective with the London Met police. After a serial killer case about 10 years ago, she leaves the police and moves to small Cork City where she becomes a private investigator. She is also dating the Chief Investigator of the police in her new home town. When a newspaper reporter shows her a letter supposedly from "The Tear Drop Killer" she refuses to believe that he could possibly have come back, he is presumed dead. When a body turns up using the same MO as Tear Drop, the Cork City police department assumes that he has returned to haunt the streets. Elizabeth is called in as a consultant on the case as more bodies begin to turn up. Now its Elizabeth who is determined to prove that, the serial killer who goes by the name of Tear Drop couldn't have returned, just out of the question. Only she knows why!
This book is a fast-paced procedural crime story with amazing endings to each chapter that keep you saying, "I just want to finish this chapter". The ending was a surprise that I did not expect and the culprit was not revealed until then. Make sure you have a large block of reading time because you will not want to stop until the end.
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.… (altro)
The plot was very jumpy and a bit difficult to follow, but in the end most of the confusion was sorted out. It was very unevenly paced though, and the writing style was inconsistent. The latter may have been an intentional plot device, but it was poorly executed.
