Megan Rhys is a forensic psychologist and is often called in by the police to help solve some of their more gruesome or strange murders. This time Megan is asked to help on a case of what looks like a ritual killing but she starts to think that the police are going in the wrong direction with their inquiries.

As more women die, Megan worries more and more about her sister who lives in the town where the killings are taking place. How is the murderer picking his victims and does it really have anything to do with black magic? While Megan helps the police find the answers they need her boyfriend is waiting to spring some news on her. Will it be something she wants to hear?

This is the second book in the Megan Rhys series and I loved it just as much as the first, Frozen. No holds barred this is bloody, realistic and thrilling. Sometimes a little disturbing but always for the sake of the story and not just because it sounds good. The writing style is powerful and the plot had me guessing till the very end. With good strong characters and the obvious eye to detail this is close to non-fiction.

I can't wait to read the next books in the series and highly recommend this series to anyone who likes a good murder mystery like that of Ian Rankin.
