For today's first Mystery Monday entry, I've got the second, 

edge-of-your-seat thriller,  from M.J. Ford

Synopsis:

When a young woman goes missing from Jesus College, Oxford, DS Josie Masters is plunged into a world of panic as fear grips the city. Along with Thames Valley Police’s newest recruit, the handsome DS Pryce, Josie must act fast – and when two more students disappear from Oriel and Somerville colleges, she realises the killer is sending her a deadly message in a cruel game of cat and mouse. This time, the case is personal – but who is the perpetrator?

In a desperate race against the clock, Josie hunts for the kidnapper, and soon discovers he could be a lot closer to home than she’d ever thought…

Review:

This book picks up after the events in the first book, Hold My Hand. You do not need to have read the first book,as enough info is given to allow you to have an idea of what occurred and why Josie is still haunted by them. I figured out who the suspect was about mid-book, BUT  the writing was so good, that I had to stay with the book to see what happened next, and how the characters would solve the case, to a positive ending. I wasn't disappointed! This is a quick twisty read, and I highly recommend it!
