[Pam Keevil · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great story with lots of twists and turns. The subject matter- snuff movies- is something I knew nothing about and the police department is set in the city of London. Again, I never knew this existed so there was plenty to engage me. The one thing that stopped me from giving this a five star review was the character of the main detective, David Gould. I wanted him to have some quirk, like writing poetry or playing the violin, something that would set him apart.
