About the book

Morag, “Mo”, has it all. A happy-go-lucky, free-spirited student and martial arts enthusiast, she’s on top of the world until she finds Cindy beaten and bloodied in the graveyard – ultimately shining a light into unknown shadows of her own childhood

Cindy, eighteen with her whole future in front of her, has lost it all. One victim of many in a brutal string of sex crimes that has swept their corner of South East England, the experience leaves her shaken, before revealing secrets she’d kept even from herself. Despite the support of her rich and successful older friend, Faye, who has troubles of her own, Cindy sinks deeper into despair.

As Detective Chief Inspector Colin Massey, Mo’s father, heads the special task force investigating the sex crimes, another girl goes missing. Her boyfriend, Johnny, begins to hear her voice in his head. Driven to the edge of his sanity, he teeters between reality and the beyond.

As their four journeys collide in an explosion of violence, love and betrayal, the principle questions are, who can they trust? And, is the face of the person looking back at them masking the identity of a killer?

My review

A trade in tears is a remarkable book. The book covered a few sensitive and gruesome topics and they were dealt with so well by the author. From the first page I was hooked and invested in the characters. The characters were all very different but I ended up feeling emotion for a lot of them especially Colin and Morag.

Plenty of twists and turns, which I love in a book. A real page turner of a book that I had to keep reading to find out the ending. It had a strong plot that was believable and all tied up in the end of the book. Although saying that I would love to read another after this one. Absolutely exceptional!
