MEET DETECTIVE MADDIE IVES IN THIS NEW SERIES THAT WILL HAVE YOU GRIPPED FROM THE EXPLOSIVE START TO ONE OF THE MOST SHOCKING ENDINGS OF THE YEAR.

IF SHE DOESN’T, HE WILL KILL HER.
Detective Maddie Ives now works with a team specialising in getting abused women to safety. She tells Grace to keep a diary, to write everything down so it forms part of the compelling evidence needed to send her abuser to prison.
But Maddie also faces a car bomber who threatens to strike again. DI Harry Blaker returns from injury. Can he and Maddie stop the bomber, find a killer and get Grace safe — whether she helps herself or not?
GRACE’S TIME IS RUNNING OUT. SHE MUST RUN OR DIE.

My Review
Maddie Ives is back in book 2 of this series.
A traffic jam in a tunnel and cars exploding and the story begins.
It took me a while to work out what the bombs had to do with domestic abuse and what the woman and child had to do with anything but come together it did.
Parts made for difficult reading but this stuff does go on every day somewhere so I read on.
Got to love Maddie Ives she is a feisty character but one I definitely want in my corner in times of trouble. This book humanised her as we had an insight into her romantic side. She and Harry are opposites working to the same standards and objectives they make a brilliant team and I can see how that is going to make this series going forwards.
The story is fast paced with plenty of grit and is unusual as the lines between victim and murderer become blurred.
A brilliant read and looking forward to book 3.
