Blurb:-How long does it take to make a murderer?

 For sixteen years, the Midwinter Butcher has been lurking in the shadows, committing ritualistic animal killings on the anniversary of DI Joseph Stone's son's tragic death. And ever since, Joseph has been desperate to bring them to justice.

 Now living alone on a narrowboat in the heat of Oxford, the Irish detective has tried to put his shattered life back together, But with his superiors' unwillingness to allocate the necessary resources, his quest for justice has been fruitless.

 That is until he is teamed with the determined and driven DC Megan Taylor, Together, they begin to unravel the web of clues that leads them closer and closer to the truth. Soon it becomes clear that these animals murders were just a prelude to something much more sinister.

 The clock is ticking, and with Joseph's daughter's life on the line. He and Megan must risk everything to catch the Midwinter Butcher before it's too late. Can they bring the killer to justice and Joseph finally find closure, or will his daughter become the next victim in this twisted game of life and death?

 The Dead of Midwinter is J.R. Sinclair's electrifying debut crime thriller. Sinclair's writing is a fresh and exciting new voice in the British crime fiction genre, sure to captivate fans of J.D. Kirk, T.G. Reid, Alex Smith, and J.E. Mayhew. This is a guessing until the very end.

Mr Review:-This is my kind of book, plenty to get your teeth into. The story starts with a family, Mam, Dad, 6-year-old little girl (who's birthday it is), and her baby brother in the car on the way home. They come to some water and have to decide, do they go through the water or drive 5 miles around to miss it. They decide to go through the water, after all it wasn't that deep, and that's when everything starts to go wrong.  I don't want to spoil this book for anyone so I'm going to leave it there for you. There are so many twists in this story, that it had me guessing so many times and still I got it wrong. It had me hooked from Chapter One and I couldn't put it down until I had read the whole book, and what a read it was. If you love Crime and Thrillers this is the book for you. Definitely 5***** from me.
