It is my absolute pleasure to once again be part of the Blog Tour for Noelle Holten for her latest book Dead Wrong. This is the second book in the series and it does read well as a stand-alone. My huge thanks to Sarah at Book On The Bright Side Publicity for my spot on the Tour and for arranging an e-copy of the book.

Let me show you what it is all about…

The serial killer is behind bars. But the murders are just beginning…

DC Maggie Jamieson’s past comes back to haunt her in this dark and gripping serial killer thriller.

Three missing women running out of time…
 
They were abducted years ago. Notorious serial killer Bill Raven admitted to killing them and was sentenced to life.

The case was closed – at least DC Maggie Jamieson thought it was…
 
But now one of them has been found, dismembered and dumped in a bin bag in town.

Forensics reveal that she died just two days ago, when Raven was behind bars, so Maggie has a second killer to find.
 
Because even if the other missing women are still alive, one thing’s for certain: they don’t have long left to live…

DC Maggie Jamieson is back in the 2nd book by this author and it was great to be able to catch up again. The synopsis gives such an intriguing premise for the story.

Bill Raven is behind bars for murder, the bodies were never found but he had confessed to their murders. Then the bodies turn up, only problem is the fact they have been murdered while he is locked up!!! The ball starts rolling for his release and time is not the side of the police.

The author has created such a good baddie with Bill Raven, he loves to play mind games and Maggie is in the firing line for him as he gets under her skin and taunts her at every turn. Maggie and the team have to go back over notes, files and every bit of information they have to try and discover what was missed and also to see if they have got the wrong man.

Maggie is tenacious and will not let go of her belief that Bill is indeed guilty, especially when people around her are doubting. The time essence for the story adds to the tension of the team as they try to explore every possibility.

The story is gritty and fast-paced, there are seeds of doubt and the tension is high. Assisting the police are various other agencies, this is an aspect that the author does so well and incorporates it into the story adding a bit of “something different” to this police procedural style crime story.

The story is well laid out and even though I did have the odd idea there were some good twists that caught me unawares. There is also a very creepy thread that runs alongside the main focus and this has been left so tantalising and I am looking to see where this one will go.

This is a fabulous 2nd book in the series and if you are a fan of crime thriller reads then this is going to be a book that is right up your street. It is fast paced, gritty, at times creepy and cleverly written. I would definitely recommend it and I would also advise putting the 3rd book on your wish list.
