The critically acclaimed first novel in Louise Phillips’ award-winning and internationally best-selling Kate Pearson thriller series.
The Serial Killer
A missing schoolgirl is found buried in the Dublin Mountains, hands clasped together in prayer, two red ribbons in her hair. Twenty-four hours later, a second schoolgirl is found in a shallow grave – her body identically arranged. The hunt for the killer is on.
The Criminal Psychologist
The police call in criminal psychologist Kate Pearson to get inside the mind of the murderer before he strikes again. But the more Kate discovers about the killings, the more it all feels terrifyingly familiar.
The Accused Woman
As the pressure to find the killer intensifies, there’s one vital connection to be made – Ellie Brady, a woman institutionalized 15 years earlier for the murder of her daughter Amy. She stopped talking when everybody stopped listening.
But what connects the death of Amy Brady to the murdered schoolgirls? As Kate Pearson begins to unravel the truth, danger is closer than she knows.
New and Good This was a free book through Amazon, and took me a while to read. Sad for me! Very well written, suspense maintained without ever dragging out. I’m definitely going for the next in the series. I think the end seemed a bit rushed, but otherwise, Louise Phillips has me intrigued.
