It's 1987, and Detective Constable Jamie Day has just transferred to London's Metropolitan Police from a sleepy seaside town. Before he gets a chance to unpack, he is first on the scene at the site of a dismembered young man. Soon, another young victim is found similarly dismembered, and the hunt begins for a serial killer. Still adjusting to his new surroundings and colleagues, Jamie is caught up in what turns out to be a high-profile case. A misstep causes problems and draws the attention of his commanding officer — something he didn't need.
Told through the eyes of both the killer and Jamie, The Quiet Kill is a dark, spellbinding novel that is suspenseful and addictive. Jamie is an appealing character, the writing is excellent, and the pace spot-on. I look forward to following Jamie's career as he grows and develops as a detective.
4.5/5 stars.
