Their darkest secrets won’t stay buried forever…The butchered body of a professor is found in a private office of Exeter University. It is the first in a spate of horrific murders that shakes the city to its core.
Who would target a seemingly innocent man, and why? DS Imogen Grey and DS Adrian Miles turn to his students for answers, but their investigation turns up no leads. Someone must know more than they’re letting on…
As the body count rises, the police have to look into the past to uncover the person responsible before it’s too late.
But are they brave enough to face up to the truth?
Smart, gripping, dark. The Sunday Times bestseller is back in a twisty crime thriller, perfect for fans of M.J. Arlidge’s EENY MEENY and Angela Marsons’ KIM STONE series.
'Truth or Die' is Kat Diamond's fifth novel in her popular seies featuring DS Imogen Grey and I think this is her best yet.
'Truth or Die' is a fast past, hard hitting police procedural novel where the reader is on the edge of their seat throughout. There are moments throughout the book that are gruesome and graphic, featuring violent acts but these all add to the impact of the novel.
Avon Books have very kindly given me a short extract to share with my blog readers .......................
Adrian looked at Imogen, who then nodded over to Denise Ferguson, the duty sergeant.
‘Didn’t you say you’d help her out with booking tonight?’
‘Oh, shit.’ He remembered promising something like that. He guessed being stuck behind the front desk processing drunks on a Saturday night was better than being subjected to dating shows on TV, by yourself, because you live alone.
Valentine’s Day was not typically the quietest of nights in the station. Even if you ignored all the drunken roadside domestic disputes and the minor pub brawls because someone looked at someone else’s woman the wrong way, nationally it was still a night that saw a statistically significant increase in crime. Petty criminals taking advantage of the fact that most couples were out enjoying a romantic meal or a nice walk meant that break-ins and car theft were higher on this night than most others.
Fingers crossed tonight would be a slow one.
‘I’m not in until Tuesday now. I’ve got a couple of personal days,’ Imogen said.
Thank you to Avon Books for inviting me to take part in the blog tour and for a copy of the book in return for an honest review.
