Is murder in the blood?

In a sleepy Devon village, a woman is taken from the streets. Local vet Jenny is horrified. This kind of thing doesn’t happen here.

But it’s not the first time she’s been so close to a crime scene. The daughter of a prolific serial killer, she’s spent her whole life running from who she really is.

And the crime is harrowingly similar to those her father committed all those years ago…

But she’s not her father’s daughter.

Is she?

My thoughts

Sadly this was such a boring book. Very predictable and just boring. I mean it was my own fault because it does say in the description that it was happening in a sleepy village. It took me a very long time to finish the book because everything was more exciting than continue reading it.

I really couldn’t connect with anything in the book. The characters just weren’t captivating, the relationships were just sad and their backstories dull. There were also just so many filler characters that the main characters in the novel had a hard time to stand out. I think it was somehow pointless to have the husband as an other main character that we got the point of view from. I felt like all of his chapters were just filler material.

Which brings me to the third problem that I had with the book. The flow. It just wasn’t flowing right. I think the slow pace of the book was to make it more suspenseful but I just wasn’t feeling it. I was promised a thriller and I just wasn’t thrilled.

I think I will give this one 1/5, mainly because it was boring.
