Dead Perfect begins with DC Maggie Jamieson being called to the murder scene of a woman in a park. Her close friend Dr Kate Maloney has been struggling to deal with a stalker and by the description of this woman it could be Kate. When Maggie is unable to contact Kate over the phone and Kate’s colleagues confirm they haven’t seen her that day and don’t know where she is, Maggie fears the worst.
There is a killer out on the Staffordshire streets who is clever enough not to leave any forensic evidence and who has his own special way of killing the women he abducts. He becomes known as the Living Doll Killer, and Maggie is determined that nothing will stand in her way to catch him.
I was so desperate for this killer to be caught that I couldn’t put this book down and read it in one sitting. It is the third book in this series but the first one I’ve read and although it could be read as a standalone, this book was so good that I now want to go back and read the first two books.
Dead Perfect is a chilling, fast-paced read that will keep you awake at night and make you want to double-check that your windows and doors are firmly locked.
