APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Author Gytha Lodge follows up her best-selling debut She Lies In Wait with a second outing for DCI Jonah Sheens. A young artist is murdered in her home, and the only witness is a Skype date who hears it unfold off-camera. The split-narrative that follows sees a complicated group of friends point the finger at everyone but themselves, while DCI Sheens and his team try to track down the killer. It’s part thriller and part examination of the lengths a person will go to justify their own appalling actions, and the obligatory twist is one that will genuinely see your jaw drop on the train home.
