DS Ruby Preston has another murderer to find: this one is extremely creepy and the case is turning out to have leads that come very close to home. Ruby grew up in the East End and went to school in the area. She is pursuing a career with the Shoreditch police, while some of her class mates are from the families of local crime lords (including her estranged sweetheart, Nathan Crosby and his brother Lenny). A girl is found, murdered, in a local park, but then another body, this time staged in an adjacent cemetery to look like Snow White, and crucial evidence is found in the home of someone she cares about. Ruby continues to go her own way rather than follow procedure. and puts herself at risk rather than let more victims fall to this sinister killer. There's plenty of suspense and surprises in this compulsive read of a book, and it leaves me wondering where Ruby's cases will next take her.
