Description
Kim resumes her duties and kicks Burns out, when she immediately realizes her team is ready to revolt. Although Kim's social skills are lacking, her heart is in the right place, and her detective skills outstanding . When I say intentional, I mean it was done so to educate the reader in a more "natural" way through the characters learning about it. Angela Marsons is the Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author of the DI Kim Stone series and her books have sold more than 5 million in 7 years.
Next, a short time later, 22-year-old Sarah Laing's apparent suicide shows clues that it was a staged murder. Then a young man’s body is found in a local lake with his throat cut and Kim makes a link between the victim and Samantha. Thank you to Angela Marsons, her publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read an Advanced Readers Copy of this amazing book, in exchange for my unbiased review.Her tenacity and skills are second to none and after being constantly being belittled and made Tea Girl by DI Burns whilst Kim was recuperating it was the case she needed to make her shine again. But this is a Kim Stone story, and whether seemingly innocent or not, something has to be a miss for it to have caught Stacey’s attention. The glistening richness of the liquid is caught in the lamplight as it escapes like lava from a volcano and runs down the line of her hair. I fell even more in love with Stacey in this book, she was definitely the shining light in this story and really stood out. Her team of experts are thrilled to have her back and she is chomping at the bit to get back to working cases with them.
Linking the victims, Kim discovers they were involved in annual tournaments for gifted children and were on their way to the next event.Hidden Scars in particular has major spoilers for the previous book, and since that one is one of the strongest (and most shocking) of the series it would be a shame to ruin the full effect of the plot twist bombs. The second is the case of a missing husband who, to all intents and purposes, looks as though he has left of his own accord. Hours before, Steven Harte had walked into Halesowen police station and confessed to having information that would lead Kim to Melody. One August afternoon, eight-year-old Grace Lennard skips into the garden of the childcare centre she attends and vanishes into thin air. This series truly just gets better and better and I know I’m not alone in wanting the next instalment the second I reach the end of Angela Marson’s latest brilliant offering.
Relegating Stacy Wood to making coffee and filing is wasteful and foolish, but taking a rash of suicides at face value is inexcusable. She finds her team unhappy and downtrodden by a bully-boy boss who cares only about progression and nothing about victims he deems to be unworthy of his time.I swear, every book in the DI Stone series puts me through the emotional wringer but in the best possible way. year old Jamie Mills was found hanging from a tree, his death made to look like suicide, but Kim quickly determines he was murdered. His wife thinks something bad has happened to him but all signs point to him leaving of his own free will. Kim is close to revealing the truth behind the murders, yet soon finds one of her own is in jeopardy – and the clock is ticking.
But when human remains are discovered at a former children’s home, disturbing secrets are also unearthed.Woody had told Kim to take it slow and not rush things but it is clear to Kim that it is time for Burns to go. Kim Stone fast realises she’s on the hunt for a twisted individual whose killing spree spans decades. The Gardner family, who run the clinic are not very helpful, and insist their methods for curing homosexuality are legal and humane. With her colleague, Detective Stacey Wood, working on another unsolved crime and a member of the team grieving the loss of a close relative, Kim is struggling to make inroads on what is fast becoming a complex case. On the lighter side I always enjoy my time with Kim, Bryant, Penn and Stace and I devour any new information revealed about who they are and what makes them tick.
