A Life for a Life

Detective Kate Young, Book 3

By: Carol Wyer

Narrated by: Henrietta Meire

Nobody can get into the mind of an erratic killer - except an unpredictable detective.

When a young man is found lying on a station platform with a hole in his head, DI Kate Young is called in to investigate the grisly murder. But the killing is no one-off. As bodies start to pile up, she is faced with what might be an impossible task - to hunt down a ruthless killer on a seemingly random rampage.

Meanwhile, Kate has her own demons to battle as she struggles to come to terms with her husband’s death. And she is hell-bent on exposing corruption within the force and bringing Superintendent John Dickson to justice. But with the trail of deception running deeper - and closer to home - than she could ever have imagined, she no longer knows who she can trust.

With her grip on reality slipping, Kate realises that maybe she and the killer are not so different after all. But time is running out and Kate is low on options. Can she catch the killer before she loses everything?

Will Kate Find Closure?

Mental health issues following a traumatic incident play a critical aspect of this story. While closure may have been found, this story line is getting tedious.

#3

Questions abound even though any are answered, many remain.
A more leisurely pace than the previous books ,yet still enjoyable.

Good story

Overall a good story with lots of twists and turns, including Kate’s personal vendetta against DCI Dickson. My only complaint is that Kate’s obsession w dead husband, Chris, became a bit trying. Glad that Dickson got his just desserts.

Couldn’t finish series even as a freebie

This was a member free series and I made it part way through to this book but honestly the whole subplot against the Superintendent and the begging of her husband’s spirit to talk to her got so tedious I couldn’t continue. Not sure I have ever ditched a book before but seriously I couldn’t take another minute of her whining on.

Difficult to finish

Although the story was worth it. Slow to start and Kate’s issues are a titch annoying. Narrator is clipped and a bit harsh.
