And he’s watching.
Helen Fields is back with a heart-pounding new book, perfect for fans of Cara Hunter and Stuart MacBride.
He's the shadow of a man and yet, he's strong enough to capture his victims.
How does he do it?
Helen Fields has given us a quite dark and disturbing tale. One that for the most part kept me entertained.
A woman, Elspeth, has been abducted, and to find her Connie Woolwine, an American forensic psychologist, and detective Brodie Baarda have teamed up. Connie is making a profile of the psychopath and soon she learns that the body of a woman named Angela has a connection with Elspeth's abduction. Connie knows there has to be a reason for these women to be selected. She and Baarda know time is running out. Will they find her in time?
The Shadow Man had some quite gruesome scenes that made my stomach queazy. My imagination ran wild with all the things The Shadow Man did. Same with some of the discoveries that were described. The last showdown was terrifying.
Connie was a great character! Someone smart, unflappable, and resourceful.
I will like to see her back with Baarda for another investigation.
Cliffhanger: No
3/5 Fangs
