About the book

‘I’ve been watching you DS Alice Parr. I saw you trying to save the poor young woman you found in the park. The woman I tried to kill. I’ve been waiting for you to find her family. To find someone who cares about her. But you can’t can you? You’ve never had a case like this.
I know everything about you. You know nothing about me. Even though I’m the man you’re looking for. And you will never catch me… ‘

SHIVERS!

The run of the mill jog to work will never be the same again after reading Emma Kavangh’s latest novel.

DS Alice Parr is flagged down as she runs past Brunswick Park by an elderly woman who has seen a crime committed. She calls for backup as she races to the scene and finds a savagely attacked young woman, mortally wounded. As she holds the young woman’s hand , one word is whispered that catapults Alice to a time and place that she would rather forget…

So begins a race against time to find whoever carried out this attack before he strikes again, but as they investigate the victim and peel back the layers, they find many inconsistencies. And the killer seems to have Alice in his sights and toying with her like a cat with a mouse.

‘The thing is, when you work a case like this, there are parts of yourself that you shut down, pieces you turn off. The victim-for right or wrong-becomes little more than an agglomeration of body parts, a puzzle that needs to be solved. It’s easier that way, safer. It allows you to sleep at night.’

The plot races into hairpin bends of revelations, leaving you reeling alongside Alice , as the first person narrative draws you into the story and creates a sense of identifying with her. You are invested in her survival, as much as you are outraged about the savage attacks, and hope for justice.

A book that proceeds so fast that you are in danger of whiplash yet never allows the reader  to fall behind or feel stupid due to sheer amounts of clues and facts -unlike other writers do-‘To Catch a Killer’ has bestseller list written all over it !
