Much abused young woman, forensic psychologist, new murder case possibly related to old case that may have led to wrong conviction. I lost interest halfway through.

I had read the first two books in this series, but didn't remember much about the characters when I started reading this third one. I will definitely remember Cyrus and Evie from now on. They are two very interesting characters and the case they become involved in has many twists and turns, with action and suspense on every page. ( )

Great quote about auto racing - “…but calling it a sport is like saying that Neil Armstrong was an athlete when he piloted Apollo 11 to the moon.” I totally agree!

“The truth doesn’t have a side.”

I really have become a big fan of these two characters, Cyrus and Evie! And I enjoy the way the chapters take turns telling one or the other's point of view. I think this was a very good number three in the series and I truly hope there are more to come! ( )

A very compelling third installment in the Cyrus Haven psychological thriller series.

As forensic psychologist Cyrus Haven deals with the upcoming homecoming of his brother, Elias, he’s also helping the police with an investigation into a missing woman. Elias has been held and treated at a secure psychiatric facility since he murdered their parents and twin sisters over 20 years ago. Both Cyrus and his lodger, Evie Cormac, are a bit worried and concerned about Elias coming to live with them.

I love the characters that this author creates. Cyrus and Evie are so well-developed and complex, each having struggled with horrific pasts that add incredible depth and emotional resonance to this story. There is always so much going on within the pages of these books that keeps the reader glued to the pages.

I could say more about the complicated plot, but would suggest that you don’t read this as a standalone. I really like this author’s writing style and can highly recommend the entire series. I look forward to reading more about these characters.

Thank you to NetGalley and Scribner for this e-book ARC to read and review. ( )

And so we return to Nottingham and my favourite duo of Cyrus and Evie. I had high hopes that this book would delve more into Evie's background and the sinister people behind the events of book 2, but I guess this will happen later in the series. This was still a brilliant read but not as 'on the edge of your seat' as books 1 and 2. Another really interesting and complex murder case with a closer look at the tragedy surrounding Cyrus's family running alongside it. I loved the new connections that were formed in this book and all the mixed emotions that came with them. ( )
