Welcome to Litsy!

This 5th series entry finds Kim struggling to find a connection between victims seemingly being stabbed at random. Meanwhile her arch nemesis, sociopath Dr. Alex Thorne, a manipulative psychiatrist she put in prison, is still pulling strings…some involving Kim and her estranged mother. There‘s always lots going on in these books, and this one is no exception. Loved seeing more of the dynamic between Kim/mom/Thorne. 5/5⭐️

DI Kim Stone's, 5th installment is about the murder of Deanna Brightman and Maxine Wakeman. Their stab wounds were very similar so they knew it was the same killer. Dr. Alex Thorne, from the 2nd book in the series, is back in the picture from prison trying to bring Kim down. Kim's mother is attempting parole and Kim tells them she is not ready to be released.

Trying to get back into reading by starting this book in one of my favourite series. Been a busy and difficult few weeks, with at times pains making it difficult to concentrate on the reading. Hope this pacy read will help me build up focus again.

A great red coat so should be good. @Tove_Reads

Kim still rocking the stories!! Another great one in this series. The crime is always gruesome with lots of twists and turns and the character/personal stories are great.

Hurrah! A lunch and a read. My daughter did Camembert and crusty bread and I read for 20 minutes. Made my day. Until the wine later.

Another great book in the Kim Stone series. With each book I enjoy her more and more. I love how she will do what she can for her team and reminds everyone that they function as a team. She amazing! 🌟🌟🌟🌟 #murder2020 19/27 and book 3 complete of #EasterExtravaganza

A little Kim Stone time to get the day started! 🤗

I so enjoyed this. The big bad from book 3 was back for another twisted mind f***. I was more intrigued by that than the main case that Stone and Co. were investigating but I have found my groove with this series (and reading in general) again. 🙌🏼

Yes, I am a huge fan! Loved it! The psycho Dr Alex Thorne is back trying to screw up Kim‘s life, even though she‘s in prison. Kim‘s mother is a part of the deal. Strange murders happen, brutal torture. Another great book by one of the absolutely best authors ever!

Oh yeah, Dr Alexandra Thorne is back! I know this will be a good, no, fantastic read! 😍

This installment of the D.I. Kim Stone series saw the return of psychopath Alex. I enjoyed the interactions between her and Kim, the game that Alex was playing. The main mystery was interesting as well, trying to figure out seemingly unrelated murders. This wasn't my favorite of the books so far, but it was still really great!

I adore this series. So good. 💜💜💜

4 1/2 stars! This is the best novel for me in this series because we get to see the return of Alex the sociopathic psychologist and how she tries to break Kim. I loved the tension and the many twists and turns. I feel like Kim is slowly thawing as a character and person and I'm happy with her character development. I'm looking forward to continuing the series.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

There was only one problem with this book - reading this caught me up with the series, now I have to wait for the next one to come out 😖. I can always count on this author to come through and deliver a dark, seedy mystery full of thrills and chills. I just can't get enough. Ms. Marsons, please write fast!!!

True story, and tonight's excuse for why I can't put this awesome book down (and won't be able to until I've finished it 😉). #sorrynotsorry #mystery #thriller

I read this one at warp speed, partly due to the fact that Marsons is oh so tricky and writes brief chapters that make me keep saying, oh just one more chapter. Before I know it, it‘s after midnight, but honestly I didn‘t care, I had to find out what was going to happen next. Full of plenty of bombshells and shocking revelations, this one was a true page turner and extremely hard to put down.
