This was a great thriller, every reveal had my mind spinning to think of possible connections and outcomes, a few of which I managed to get right!

I found the look into AI and thoughts around what it is capable of and what large Biotech companies could be using this technology for really interesting (and rather frightening!) It was also good to hear from Connie Woolwine again (character from the authors pervious books) and think this sets up a new investigative team up nicely for future crime solving.

The only story line that I didn't fully buy into/felt a bit rushed was that of DI Ruskin. I don't know whether that is just because I am use to the authors previous incorruptible detectives but it just did not seem to tie with the character arc that had been built with him although I do understand that it was demonstrating the reach the company had and that everyone has a price.

This book, like most of the authors work, has particularly descriptive and gory scenes of the murders so bare that in mind when picking it up.
