I've just finished binge-reading the first four Kim Stone books, fabulously written and brilliantly woven stories. I just wish Angela Marstons could write as fast as I can read !

Description
The dead don't tell secrets... unless you listen.
The girl's smashed-in face stared unseeing up to the blue sky, soil spilling out of her mouth. A hundred flies hovered above the bloodied mess.
Westerley research facility is not for the faint-hearted. A 'body farm' investigating human decomposition, its inhabitants are corpses in various states of decay. But when Detective Kim Stone and her team discover the fresh body of a young woman, it seems a killer has discovered the perfect cover to bury their crime.
Then a second girl is attacked and left for dead, her body drugged and mouth filled with soil. It's clear to Stone and the team that a serial killer is at work, but just how many bodies will they uncover? And who is next?
As local reporter, Tracy Frost, disappears, the stakes are raised. The past seems to hold the key to the killer's secrets, but can Kim uncover the truth before a twisted, damaged mind claims another victim?
The latest utterly addictive thriller from the No.1 bestseller Angela Marsons.

Ive read all the Kim stone books and each story has been very different but equally compelling. I only didn't give it five stars because it was probably my least favourite so far. But still an excellent book with lots of unexpected turns and I never came close to guessing the end. Kim is a fascinating character that's starting to thaw a little more each book, but please give her just a little personal happiness ...
Excellent Read

I really enjoy these books they are well written and keep you guessing until the end. The characters are great and I like that over time you find out a little bit more about them. With all of these books I have read in a couple of days as they are great page turners, I look forward to the next book.
Play Dead.

Just when you think a writer cannot surpass their last book , " wow " they field a blinder.
Gripping read from the off, with quite a bizarre setting. Brilliant police procedural , with excellent perception of human character.
Way up there with the best. Download, pull up the drawbridge and enjoy the latest Kim stone thriller. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Literally never been as excited to receive an email!! I found out this book had been released about 10 seconds ago and I've already purchased it. I know this will be 5* before I even read it. Oh Kim I've missed you! Please get working on the next one :-) X
