Welcome to my Stop on the Blog Tour for Somebody's Daughter by Carol Wyer! I'm so excited to bring you my review of this incredible book!
What They Say:
One by one the girls disappeared…
When the frail body of a teenage girl is discovered strangled in a parking lot, shards of ice form in Detective Natalie Ward’s veins. As Natalie looks at the freckles scattered on her cheeks and the pale pink lips tinged with blue, she remembers that this innocent girl is somebody’s daughter…
The girl is identified as missing teenager Amelia Saunders, who has run away from home and her controlling father. Natalie’s heart sinks further when it becomes clear that Amelia has been working on the streets, manipulated by her violent new boyfriend Tommy.
A day later, another vulnerable girl is found strangled on a park bench. Like Amelia, Katie Bray was a runaway with connections to Tommy, and Natalie is determined to find him and track down the monster attacking these scared and lonely girls.
But when a wealthy young woman is found murdered the next morning, the word ‘guilty’ scrawled on her forehead, Natalie realises that the case is more complex than she first thought. Determined to establish a connection between her three victims, Natalie wastes no time in chasing down the evidence, tracing everyone who crossed their paths. Then, a key suspect’s body turns up in the canal, a mole in Natalie’s department leaks vital information and everything seems to be against her. Can Natalie stop this clever and manipulative killer before they strike again?
An unputdownable crime thriller from an Amazon bestselling author that will have you sleeping with the light on. This gripping rollercoaster ride is perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott and Rachel Caine. Prepare to be totally hooked!
What I Say:
When I had finished reading this book my head was spinning! It was about 3am and I couldn't because my mind was reeling!
As with all of Carol's thrillers, I was left guessing right up until the very end and was completely shocked by the conclusion. You think you know what's going on, who is the culprit and what was their motive, but more often than not, you're wrong.
Natalie Ward is such a great character. She and her team make these books so real. I really feel like I'm trying to solve the case with them. I feel like I've grown with them all and am proud of their growth and achievements. I have loved following the evolution of Natalie and David too. They're so human and normal that I feel like I really know them. There aren't many authors who can write a series where you feel so engrossed and invested, but Carol does it every time.
This particular case was one of the most compelling for me. I really had no idea who was to blame and who was trustworthy. So twisted, gritty and dark. There are some disturbing themes but they draw you in and help you feel for the victims. The idea of such young girls being put into the positions that these have is so heartbreaking. And it's even more sad to know that it happens in real life, but this is handled with sensitivity and
understanding.
I absolutely love this series and each book is better than the one before. 10/10
