A murdered woman…

When the body of a young woman is found in a local park, DC Maggie Jamieson knows she’s dealing with no ordinary killer. The murder victim has been disfigured; her outfit changed to resemble someone else. Someone Maggie knows all too well…her close friend Dr Kate Moloney.

A determined detective…

Maggie is determined to keep her friend safe, but with Kate already struggling with a threatening stalker, Maggie now fears Kate’s life is in real danger. Who else would want to harm Kate and why else would the killer be turning his victims into exact replicas – his living dolls?

Can Maggie find the depraved killer? Or will Kate become his next living doll?

Dead Perfect book!

Wow! This is stalker, thriller killer at its finest! Noelle Holten does it again with her third book in the DC Maggie Jamieson series. Tension flows through this book in a way that kept me turning those pages in order to find out who the killer was.

I’ll mention the killer next. This is some warped stuff and I loved the imagination that went into creating this character. It’s compelling reading. Throw in the threat to one of the team, you have this fear constantly bubbling away.

It’s a fast read too. Once you start, it’s hard to put down. I enjoyed the familiar faces that reappeared in this book. Not only Maggie’s direct police team, but Lucy and Kate.

Maggie is so loveable too. I was hugely rooting for her to come up with the goods. ‘Dead Perfect’ is an exciting police procedural thriller and not one to be missed. The tone is set perfectly. I loved the descriptions of the area and enjoyed the creepiness of it all. Fantastic stuff!

Great find. Real page Turner

I picked up the 1st book as a free one on iBooks while at looking for a new author. Fast paced, characters that you understand and want to know more about. Real and gritty storylines.
Real page turner couldn’t put them down and read all 3 in a couple of weeks. Just a bit disappointed now that there’s only 3. Hopefully the 4th one is on its way!
Highly recommended if you like a good murder story with a great background
