It’ll have your brain go into overload mode with thinky-thoughts long after you’ve finished the book. A copy of this book was kindly provided to me by Netgalley and Bookouture in exchange for an honest review.

However, Marsons handled them very well, with a lot of sensitivity, while still being very forthright. She is supposed to be taking things easy and slowly transitioning back to work, but Kim does not like to do anything easy.

In some respects these are formulaic police procedurals, with similar elements and tropes repeating in each book, but you can’t really blame Marsons for giving her fans what they want.

When Detective Kim Stone rushes to the scene, the violence of the attack convinces her that this murder was deeply personal. For Detective Kim Stone every detail of the scene mirrors her own terrifying experience with her brother Mikey, when they lived in the same tower block thirty years ago. What they have in common is the victims were gay and spent time at clinics that specialize in conversion therapy.

This was another gripping and fast paced crime thriller, where as ever the character dynamics are the most interesting and entertaining aspect. Conversion therapy aims, by various means of emotional manipulation, behaviour modification, and shaming to change a gay individual to a straightorientation. Kim is close to revealing the truth behind the murders, yet soon finds one of her own is in jeopardy – and the clock is ticking.

A quick tour of the facility finds nothing untoward but they have been kept away from the treatment areas where the real damage occurs. As Kim, along with Alan Bryant, Stacey and Penn, dug deeply into the apparent suicide of a young Jamie Mills, she could see things didn't add up.Thank you to Angela Marsons, her publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read an Advanced Readers Copy of this amazing book, in exchange for my unbiased review.
