    About this ebook

    Before night falls, someone will die...

    A young Czech girl, missing for eight days, is found in a deserted playground. Starving and terrified, she may be alive but the horrors she's survived have left her mute.

    DCI Eve Clay is on her way to try and interview the girl, when another case is called in. Two Polish migrant workers have been found dead in their burnt out flat. But this is no normal house fire. The men's bodies had been doused in petrol.

    Then Clay uncovers a sinister message at the scene: killing time is here, embrace it. It's clear this is only the beginning, but how long does Eve have before another life is taken?

      Killing Time by Mark RobertsDCI Eve Clay #4Coming into a series on book four left me wondering about a few things BUT the premise for the book sounded intriguing so I went for it. I have read the blurbs for the first three books, signed up for the book release blog tour, have, read promotional material and it all became a bit clearer when I finished researching. That said, my gut feeling is that someone coming into the series on book four might feel a bit lost and out of the loop not knowing Eve or her team all that well. Many names of colleagues and a few snippets about them as well as support characters is shared and half my notebook had names with job descriptions by it. My gut feeling is that the book could have been pared down a bit either by condensing the interviews that are predominately “no comment” or perhaps in some other little ways. I hate to give away plots or steal the stories secrets and this one is full of twists, turns and surprises. The bad guy might not be who you think it is and the good guys might be a whole lot less good than you think. What is propelling the murders and violence doesn’t come out till the end even though the assumption is that the crimes are hate crimes based on race with some feeling superior to others as they are whiter than those they do away with. There are some VERY sick and disturbed people in this book and I am not sure how they became that way…even knowing would not make what they did make sense, though. If you are looking for a well plotted, action-packed, mystery that is solved through police working hard and following procedure then this book might be for you. Sometimes I say I would like to have the characters in the book as friends…can’t say that about this book. Thank you to NetGalley and Head of Zeus for the ARC – This is my honest review. 3-4 Stars
