With a terrifying certainty, she knew she was going to die.

DI Geraldine Steel knows people go missing all the time. So when her partner Ian asks her to look into the disappearance of his football-buddy's girlfriend, her first instinct is to reassure him there's no need for concern. Until she's called to a suspected murder.

 The young woman has earth and fragments of twigs in her hair. It's as if she'd been completely encased in earth. And yet she was found on the pavement, at the side of a suburban road, where she wasn't in contact with any soil or mud. Without a crime scene, the investigation focuses on her boyfriend. But the another young woman is reported missing. Unless he has an accomplice, they have an innocent man in custody. And Steel is running out of time...

 A page-turning puzzle of a case with an unexpected final twist. If you're a fan of Angela Marsons, Mel Sherratt and Karin Slaughter, you'll love Leigh Russell.

My Review:-This is Book 20: DI Geraldine Steel. DI Steel's partner Ian has been ask if DI Steel could help find Lucy his friend Jason's girlfriend who has went missing. Even though Jason has reported Lucy missing, the fingers are still pointed at him, but DI Steel isn't as sure about it. While looking into the case DI Steel finds that there has been other girls gone missing, then a report of another girl that has got missing comes in. It's up to DI Steel and her team to find who's behind this and is there a connection with the disappearances.  Leigh Russell has kept some of the characters from previous books, along with some new ones. I did find it a bit slower at the beginning, but it soon picked up and had me wanting to know more. Keep your eyes open for the end, i wasn't expecting what was coming.
