Arriving home from a routine day at work, Anna Cottrell has no idea that her life is about to change forever. But discovering the stabbed body of a stranger in her flat, then becoming prime suspect in a murder enquiry is only the beginning. Her persistent claims of innocence start to crumble when new evidence links her irrevocably with the victim...
Leading her first murder enquiry, DCI Helen Lavery unravels a trail of deception, family secrets and betrayal. When people close to the Cottrell family start to disappear, Lavery is forced into a race against time. Can she catch the killer before he executes his ultimate victim?
My Thoughts:
Can you imagine coming home from work to find a dead body in your living room and blood all over the place. Well I can't but Anna Cottrell sure found out. As time goes on things just get worse and worse. An Unfamiliar Murder starts off and doesn't let you go until the end. Anna has some family secrets that even she didn't know about and she finds that her parents have been keeping secret from her that will change her life in ways that she could never imagine. This is a wonderful thriller that I read in one sitting, which surprised even me. Characters that you can cheer for and bad guys that you can hate. This book will keep you on your toes to the very end, I can almost see a sequel in the works. A great debut novel.
I received a copy of this ebook for review from Sizzling PR and was not monetarily compensated for my review.
