Absolution by Caro Ramsay
This book is about a young police constable who has been told to watch over a young girl in hospital who is in a coma after she has been assaulted. She had a baby daughter by an emergency section when brought into the hospital. He later finds out that she and her boyfriend were diamond smugglers. The young girl dies and no diamonds were ever found. Years later and the young P.C has now been promoted to Detective Chief Inspector and is put on a very different case, but back at his old station. This case is a muder case and the hunt for the killer is on.
As I read this book, I was hooked from the start. I wanted to find out if the girl would have got away if she had lived. The characters were so believable that you could almost see and hear them and the stories of their lives. The killings were so horrifying and dark that when reading the book I couldn’t put it down. I wanted to find out how and why the killer was doing it and to find out if and when he was caught that justice would be done.
I would recommend this book to read as the author has made the characters so real and the crimes so dark and horrifying that it sent shivers down my spine. It is a great thriller, I just couldn’t put it down.
