My review; This was such a good read! I really enjoyed this one. The story is told through each of the dates leading up to her planned death and told through the different police stations and the main character Mary. Throughout I had my own theories which kept being wrong so I’d change it and again was wrong. I never guessed the outcome no matter how hard I tried. Gripping. Tense. Thrilling. This is one clever killer. The whole of the story was clever. Poor Mary though waiting for her doom day. Will she die? Will she live? Will the killer be caught? I second guessed every character in this story including Mary herself being a author. Very clever. Highly recommend. Fab outcome/ending. A well deserved four stars from me. A real page turner.

Blurb; The lifeless body sat, hands bound, silver tape over his mouth. Patches of blood had soaked into the cheap carpet around him. Zac had spent years gaining scientific insight into the mind: human motivation and behaviour. And this scene wasn’t right…

It’s been five years since Detective Zac Boateng’s daughter was murdered and her killer was never found. Now Zac is back working for the Metropolitan Police and is more determined than ever to bring the city’s killers to justice.

When a man is found brutally murdered in a rundown south London shop, all fingers point to the highly intelligent and manipulative Darian Wallace. Two years ago, the victim helped send him to prison. And he’s just been released.

Still grieving, Zac knows it will take everything he’s got to catch this dangerously clever killer. But just as he feels he’s getting closer, he realises all is not quite as it seems and he makes a devastating personal discovery.

Zac has a choice to make – risk letting this killer escape or watch his daughter’s murderer get away again…

My Review; Wow. What a great start to a new upcoming series. What a brilliant debut. A fast paced, captivating thriller that will have you hooked throughout. What an opening to this story! Poor Zac! But it did its job and made me keep reading, kept me intrigued.

Zac has a lot going on, with his work life, home life and all while trying to catch his daughters killer without being caught! Phew. A determined character who doesn’t know when to stop. The Murder List does contain dark parts throughout and has a well written plot that will keep the reader on the edge of their seat.

I awarded a well deserved four stars and would highly recommend this story to you all! I look forward to reading more of this series in the future.
