A Violent Heart By David Fennell

A Violent Heart By David Fennell


Elena Zoric is murdered, her body concealed beside a stream in North London. Her phone lies nearby, the last number dialled was to the woman who had rescued her from sex trafficking: Metropolitan Police Detective Inspector Grace Archer.

Archer desperately wants to lead the murder investigation but her new boss, Chief Inspector Les Fletcher, makes it very clear its out of her jurisdiction.

Then the thirty-year-old remains of a woman are found in the attic of an abandoned house, the victim dying in similar circumstances to Elena Zoric.

But Archer’s North London colleagues have bigger priorities than the murder of ‘a drugged-up prostitute.’

Archer needs answers. Who killed Elena? Why did she call Archer moments from her death? And what rules must she break to stop a killer in his tracks?

My Thoughts:

When a woman’s body is discovered in North London, Detective Inspector Grace Archer wants to lead the investigation but her new boss is not so keen for her to lead but why? When another body is found not long after in similar circumstances, the team know they need to be quick to find out who the killer is and why they are doing it. But will it be safe for Archer and her team or will this killer get the better of them? It was a captivating story from the first chapter. It pulled me in with the tense and heart pounding story. You want Grace and her team to find the killer before they kill another person. But the Killer made me feel very on edge and chilled. It was a tense and gritty thriller that I would highly recommend.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
