Story
Detective Chief Inspector Beth Fellows is thrown into the biggest case of her career: the brutal murder of Rose Danes. She quickly realizes Rose’s murder is linked to a cold case she investigated two years previously. The victim, 14-year-old Celine Wilson, survived but now languishes in a coma. Both girls were branded with the image of a raven. The only lead is a vague description and a first name, Simon.

Heard of this book, recommended on the radio. ..not my usual read and began to feel a slow start and then!!! ...I literally could not put it down - swallowed it up in 3 sessions .. absolutely loved the characters, the story, the locations and of course the Britishness of it all....a must read for all.

I have read most of Peter May's work and have always admired his descriptive style and ability to string many storylines together but this book tops the lot. All action from the start, a REAL page Turner. Brilliantly read. I thank all concerned for bringing this book to Audible
