About the author

Rachel Lynch grew up in Cumbria and the lakes and fells are never far away from her. London pulled her away to teach History and marry an Army Officer, whom she followed around the globe for thirteen years.

A change of career after children led to personal training and sports therapy, but writing was always the overwhelming force driving the future. The human capacity for compassion as well as its descent into the brutal and murky world of crime are fundamental to her work.

Reviews

[Sebastian Barrow]

Twists and turns.

Many of these in this brilliant novel. A body with the legs cut off and under the torso are found in a wheelie bin. Other women have disappeared. A young lad with mental difficulties is somehow involved. But how deeply is he? Knocking shops, a delivery driver and his wife along with a mysterious Chinese gentleman. What is actually going on?
Meanwhile Kelly has some good news on the relationship front and also gets some good news. Worked for me. 🙂
