This series of novels moves beyond a dead body to walk alongside the police, paramedics and forensic teams as they attend horrific scenes, then shower off, return home and try to have dinner with their family. Or watch a sports game, or attend a birthday party.
Tomorrow, they will do it all again.
In Book 3, news arrives that Mona has resurfaced: a previous victim turned perpetrator.
As the teams pursue Mona, Grace’s new computerised role uncovers a sinister menace terrorising new mothers, jamming their little fingers into a kitchen drawer and threatening to do the same to the baby if she doesn’t comply.
Then, the crossbow killings begin, just as the Christmas celebrations start.
