My Review
This is a tale of two really strong women. A serial killer, who records details of her kills on a blog under the name of Tequila Mockingbird, and DI Kathy McGuire, whose story of her early police career and her role as a DI is integral to the plot. I make no apologies for rooting for the serial killer as she targets abusers of women doling out some really rough justice. There is a sequel afoot, and I will be looking out for it because I want more!
