About the book…
A deadly game. An unstoppable killer. The perfect alibi.
Lucy Anderson is late collecting her daughter from nursery. A mistake that could prove fatal.
Her daughter is gone and there is only one way Lucy can get her back. The ransom is simple, she has to kill someone…
And this is just the beginning. A deadly game with a domino effect has started as the real killer forces others to do his bidding.
Can detective inspector Hannah Robbins find the killer’s next puppet before they’re forced to strike or will this be the case where her opponent has found the perfect way to kill?
Pick up Kill For Me for impossible choices and moral dilemmas and see where you would fall.
For fans of Peter James and Angela Marsons, this is absolutely recommended!
This BOOK 5? How did I not know this series existed also note to future me to read the rest of Hannah Robbins investiagtions.
I LOVE a good police procedural and this one is a doozy…too often a female led novel reduces the lead to a ballsy ‘woman in a man’s world’where they behave worse than their counterparts or they have to compromise their essentail femininity to be one of the lads .
What a refreshing change then to encounter Hannah Robbins, this book can be read as a stand alone or part of the series without excluding those , like me, who are jumping in at this stage.
This is why I think it draws comparisons with Angela Marsons, because there is such a strong, uncompromising yet supportive to her underlings, lead detective.It also reflects Rebecca’s lived experience as a police detective, she really knows what she is writing about but has the nack of describing it in layman’s terms without patronising.
It’s every mother’s worst nightmare-a missing child. And that is only where Lucy’s torture begins as in order to get her little girl back she has to kill someone else.
So essentially, is a murderer actually a murderer if they get someone else to ‘pull the trigger’ as it were?
How far are you pushed before you take action and what are you willing to risk?
Can Hannah and her team work fast enough to find who is behind this nefarious kidnap, why has Lucy been targetted OR even worse, is it entirely a random choice?
It could have been very tangled trying to keep on top of the work politics of modern policing, tracking down Lucy’s missing child and the mastermind behind this entire scheme, but Rebecca manages this in a masterful fashion- building the team, moving each player into place and creating suspense from a character driven plot.
It’s a massively engaging read and I am excited to see where Hannah goes next!
Thanks so much to Emma of Damp Pebbles for the blog tour invite and introducing me to Hannah!

Thanks so much, Rachel x
Got there in the end (again!) at least it was a draft post with no body which was published as that has happened before….x
Also…noticed I spelt investigation wrong AGAIN! Who hasn;t spent that heart stopping moment on being late to pick up your child and seeing everyone else come out apart from them? My eldest did this on her first day at comp (lower and upper scholls are on seperate sites in seperate streets). She was at the Upper entrance, I was at the Lower one which she was left at in the morning. Before mobile phones, it was the longest hour of my life trying to calm two toddlers and find my then 11 year old!! Rebecca completely nailed that feeling!x
