Angela Marsons returns with another heart-pounding crime thriller in “Bad Blood,” the nineteenth installment in the DI Kim Stone series (twentieth if you include the prequel). This novel throws Detective Stone headfirst into a chilling investigation that forces her to confront complex questions about justice and revenge.
The story opens with a seemingly lifeless body found in an unnatural position. But there’s a twist – the victim is still clinging to life. As Detective Stone delves deeper, she uncovers a disturbing connection. The victim, along with another man found murdered in similar circumstances, was part of a notorious group known as the “Psycho Six” who terrorized a youth detention center years ago.
With a potential vigilante on the loose targeting these ex-convicts, Stone and her team face a race against time. The investigation takes a personal turn when a shocking revelation about one of her own team members throws Kim’s perspective into question. Are the victims truly deserving of their fate, or is there a more sinister motive at play?
“[Bad Blood] is brilliantly gripping with a reveal you’ll never see coming,” according to a Goodreads reviewer. Fans of crime thrillers by authors like Karin Slaughter and Val McDermid will likely find themselves engrossed in this fast-paced novel. While the book can be read as a standalone, those familiar with the series will appreciate the continued development of the characters and the references to past events.
If you enjoy police procedurals with strong characters and intricate plots, “Bad Blood” is a must-read. Angela Marsons delivers a thrilling story that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.
