Synopsis:
To the public, he's a hero: a killer who targets convicted paedophiles. Two men are dead already - tortured to death. Even the police don't regard the cases as a priority. Most feel that two dead paedophiles is a step in the right direction. But to DC Maeve Kerrigan, no one should be allowed to take the law into their own hands. Young and inexperienced, Kerrigan wants to believe that murder is murder no matter what the sins of the victim. Only, as the killer's violence begins to escalate, she is forced to confront exactly how far she's prepared to go to ensure justice is served.
Review:
Written in the perspective of the Detectives Maeve Kerrigan and DI Derwent and this makes it gripping, realistic and very readable. The suspense and details within the book makes the pages turn quicker, the story flow through effortlessly and with characters being realistic and easy to get along with, I very suddenly demolished the book.
Even though the main crime is the murder of the paedophiles, there are more details about kidnap, murder, and rape detailed from the previous crimes of the dead.
All the loose ends are tied up along with the on-off relationship with Rob who is the other voice in the book even though he only appears at the end in terms of his point of view.
Criticism:
Most of the book in Maeves point of view and voice, she is not present for all the chapters so maybe one of the characters could have taken over...very minor.
