Synopsis:

They were the perfect family. It was the perfect crime.
The new gripping DCI Matilda Darke crime thriller about the dark secrets that lie within a perfect family. For fans of Patricia Gibney and Angela Marsons.
It’s the most disturbing crime scene DCI Matilda Darke has ever seen…

The morning after a wedding reception at a beautiful suburban home in Sheffield, the bride’s entire family are stabbed to death – in a frenzied attack more violent than anything DCI Matilda Darke could have imagined.

Forensics point to a burglar on the run across the country. But cracks are starting to appear in Matilda’s team, someone is playing games with the evidence – and the killer might be closer to home than they thought…


Review:

This is book 5 in the series, but the first I have read. This is another twisty mystery, that leads you one direction, before taking you in a different one.The murder scene doesn't make sense, they have a witness who can't speak, and a detective squad having problems dealing with both the scene and possible suspects. Darke is an interesting character, both flawed and likable, and one that makes you keep reading. In fact, good luck with NOT reading this book in one sitting, as it moves just that quickly! I'll be off to read more books in this series, and after reading this one, you will too!
