Dead Inside - Noelle Holten
She Read
Publication date. -May 31, 2019
The first of what is to be a new series featuring DC Maggie Jamieson, this focuses more on another character, Probation Officer Lucy Sherwood who works with domestic abusers. When three abusers with whom she has had contact are brutally murdered, questions arise. When a fourth, who happens to be her husband, is killed, Lucy is arrested.
A debut novel, this is well written and gives disturbing insight into the savage world of abusers and their victims. Although the outcome is somewhat predictable, the story is engrossing and well paced.
The story concludes with a hint of what is to come in the next in the series. While Lucy and many of the other characters are well developed, Maggie is not. I hope this will be addressed in Book #2.
