A riveting read. I really enjoyed it. Gritty, violent and very dark, it is a real page turner. I loved the character of Billie Carlson who has such an interesting back story. I can't wait to find out more about her. Well plotted, with interesting characters - the bad guys are so bad I wanted to go after them myself!
A great introduction to Billie Carlson, a heroine for our times, strong, fiercely independent, dogged and determined with an unwavering moral compass that causes her no end of problems. It's a rattling good start to the series as well as a useful guide to the darker bits of Glasgow that you might want to give a wide berth to
Loved it! Billie Carlson, what a standout, don't-mess-with-me character, a seeker of the truth while battling her own nightmares. The story had me hooked from start to finish. This Glasgow is gritty, raw, filled with people you would not want to meet down a dark alley. Rock on Billie Carlson Book 2!
A nail-biting Glasgow-set thriller
Martina Cole with a Glasgow accent . . . It's a belter!

The addictive and pacey debut in a new series
