Within seconds, the vehicle is an inferno – and the Gascoignes are trapped inside.

My review

This is the first book I have read by this author. It is number 11 of the series of David Raker books but this did not mean I couldn’t read it as a standalone. Although now discovering this author I am tempted to read the whole lot of them!

This was an easy book to get into and I found after just a few pages I was invested and wanted to find out what had happened to Cait and Aiden. It was a really clever storyline and fast paced with twists and turns.

Well plotted and so much detail. This was one of the best true crime books I think I have ever read. I couldn’t turn the pages quick enough to read this one! I really want to read the follow up as soon as possible.
