Publisher's summary

From Kindle Storyteller-Shortlisted Author...a Serial Killer Thriller

The glamorous CEO of an anti-abortion charity has been found horribly mutilated and strangled to death in her own kitchen. Before long, the killer strikes again, and again. And now the pattern emerges. The victims are all high-profile Christians.

Back from the brink of killing herself, and newly promoted to DCI, Stella Cole takes a call from her sergeant that puts her plans on hold. Stella and her team at the Special Investigations Unit are racing to stop the serial killer dubbed “Lucifer” by the media, before he can take another life.

To add to Stella’s problems, London’s ambitious Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime is interfering in her investigation, and someone on the inside is leaking details to the press.

A gritty and disturbing psychological crime thriller....

Let The Bones be Charred is the fourth book in this series of hard-hitting crime thrillers. Following Stella’s recovery from the murders of her husband and child, it brings the troubled detective face to face with a serial killer with a grudge against the Church. The action takes place in the long hot summer of 2018.

Can she track down and stop the killer before any more women are murdered? Including the wife of a university professor who may, just, hold the key to the killer’s motivations and methods.

Too over the top for me. The book
starts well with a police procedural
hunt for a nasty killer. Gradually the
momentum runs away with the
author's plot. It reminds me of Silence of the Lambs which leads
too closely along the edges of revealing madness / horror.

Gross

This whole story was filled with descriptions of torture. I still can’t believe I kept listening. Makes me feel a little nuts. This makes “Criminal Minds” sound like a Disney movie!

Disturbing.

After listening to the first 3 of these books, I was intrigued and enjoyed, but found I had to skip chapters because the intense detailing of horrible acts described way to much gore for my taste. Book 4 got worse and uglier, and after skipping chapter after chapter I finally dumped it. I read to enjoy, this book made me nauseous.
