This was an interesting read though not as engaging as i had hoped. The case jumps from present time to the run up of Ben's murder. Its an interesting case though I did figure out who was the killer. The plot is quite slow to start with and then gradually picks up to the explosive ending. The ending was well written and tied all the various events together. You can't help but feel for Ben and almost wish he didn't die #Netgalley 3*

Detective Fleet is on a cold case following the discovery of a body of missing boy Ben from over 20y ago. The story is split between Ben and Fleet‘s point of view, giving insight into what then and now.

The body is found at a private school. During the investigation more bodies turn up. This amps up the feeling of danger and urgency. With all the twists and turns I didn‘t see the end coming but loved how it linked back to the hiding place.
