A Life for a Life

Written by Carol Wyer

Narrated by Henrietta Meire

Nobody can get into the mind of an erratic killer—except an unpredictable detective.

When a young man is found lying on a station platform with a hole in his head, DI Kate Young is called in to investigate the grisly murder. But the killing is no one-off. As bodies start to pile up, she is faced with what might be an impossible task—to hunt down a ruthless killer on a seemingly random rampage.

Meanwhile, Kate has her own demons to battle as she struggles to come to terms with her husband’s death. And she is hell-bent on exposing corruption within the force and bringing Superintendent John Dickson to justice. But with the trail of deception running deeper—and closer to home—than she could ever have imagined, she no longer knows who she can trust.

With her grip on reality slipping, Kate realises that maybe she and the killer are not so different after all. But time is running out and Kate is low on options. Can she catch the killer before she loses everything?

Reviews for A Life for a Life

[thepageladies · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This is the second book I have read from this series and so far I have enjoyed them. I enjoyed reading about these characters again. Kate is a strong main character and I really like her personality. And the banter between Morgan and Jamie had me laughing out loud a few times. The pace of the story flows well with the characters and the storyline. I liked how the author brought all of the layers and threads together creating quite the page turner! Overall it was a good read. I'm looking forward to reading the next book!
