A multi-layered plot with fascinating characters.

The latest from Micheal Robotham is a crime/police-procedural story that introduces Cyrus Haven, a psychologist with a disturbing and heart-breaking past. The camaraderie between Cyrus and his patient added sentiment.

The writing is compelling and the crimes are gritty. The characters are all flawed and mysterious. There are many surprises and a character with a special gift that she calls a curse . This one kept me guessing and page turning to find out the who, the why, and the how.

The two cases that Cyrus is dealing with, come together in an explosive ending.

Recommend to fans of crime fiction that enjoy a gritty subplot.

This one is out on July 23,2019

Melissa I'm so happy to see those 4 stars! I've loved one of his and not been all that impressed with another, so I wasn't sure what to expect with this one. Your review makes this sound worthwhile though. Nice one, Holly.

I enjoyed it Melissa! His writing is just so gooood. I prefer the psychological thrillers of his the most. But if this is a series, I'll read it too!

Thanks Julie!

Thanks Elyse! xoxo


Bianca I'm so annoyed this has not one, but two Girl in the title (i'm avoiding them). Robotham writes a good psychological thriller.

Sooo many books with "Girl" in the title!! This is actually just one girl though.


MarilynW Nice review and will be reading this one soon.


Bianca Sooo many books with "Girl" in the title!! This is ac..."

I placed a hold, despite the "girl" title ...
