Perfect for you if...

You love crime procedurals with intelligent protagonists who actually think like experts, not just stumble into solutions.
You're invested in character arcs across series and want to see how Tony and Carol's relationship evolves under pressure.
You appreciate plots that layer multiple investigations together, each one complicating the others in unexpected ways.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer standalone mysteries where you can pick up any book without knowing the previous nine.
You want lighter crime fiction that doesn't dwell on the psychology of perpetrators and victims.
You're looking for a quick read. This is dense, methodical crime writing that demands your full attention.

About this book

In northern England, single women are disappearing from weddings. The pattern reveals someone is crashing the events and luring women away, leaving their bodies in burned-out cars in remote locations. Psychologist Tony Hill and former police detective Carol Jordan are called to investigate what becomes one of their most challenging cases. Simultaneously, Detective Sergeant Paula McIntyre and her partner Elinor confront a cyber-blackmailer targeting their teenage ward. Val McDermid is a Diamond Dagger Award winner and multiple Edgar Award nominee.
