'No one can tell a story like she can' Daily Express
'The queen of psychological thrillers' Irish Independent
_________
When Charlie Flint is sent a mysterious package of cuttings about a brutal murder, it instantly grabs her attention. The murder occurred in the grounds of her old Oxford college - a groom battered to death just hours after his wedding. As his bride and wedding guests sipped champagne, his alleged killers were slipping his bloodstained body into the river.
Charlie doesn't know who sent the package, or why, yet she can't get the crime out of her head. But as she delves deeper, and steps back into the mysterious world of Oxford colleges, she realises that there is much more to this crime than meets the eye...
A stunning standalone thriller from the number one bestseller.

After starting the Tony Hill series, I had high hopes for this stand-alone novel. I like the way Val McDermid writes, very down to earth and visual. Sadly, this time I couldn't really get myself to like the characters as much as I wanted to. Don't get me wrong, it's a good story, well written characters who have depths and bring their own background stories. But still...somehow it didn't quite float my boat.
