Hide and Seek
by
M.J Arlidge
Detective Inspector Helen Grace has spent her whole life running.
From the past. From herself. From everyone who's ever tried to get close to her.
She's spent her whole life hiding.
Behind the badge. Behind her reputation as one of the country's best detectives. Until - framed for murder - she became one of its most high-profile prisoners.
Now there is nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide.
Because HMP Holloway is a place of dark days and long nights with dangers at every turn. Despised by the inmates and reviled by the guards, Helen must face her nightmare alone.
And then a carefully mutilated body is found in a locked cell.
Now Helen must find a ruthless serial killer. Before the killer finds her.
I was so excited to receive this ARC from NETGALLEY and Michael Joseph/Penguin as I have read every book in the DI Helen Grace series and loved them.
Hide and Seek begins where the last book 'Little Boy Blue' ended with Helen imprisoned for murders she didn't commit. She is in Holloway Prison and obviously given the fact that she had a hand in the incarceration of a lot of the inmates and she is a 'copper', she isn't having the easiest time.
Her friend and colleague Charlie Brooks is still actively to track down Robert Stonehill - Helen's nephew - who framed Helen for the murders. Her investigation however is not being supported by the rest of the team as the officer in charge is insisting the case is closed.
Whilst Helen is resident in Holloway the body of another inmate Leah is discovered. Leah is unpopular among the other prisoners as she has murdered a pregnant woman.
However Leah hasn't committed suicide. She has been murdered and her body defiled. Her mouth has been sewn up and pulled into a macabre smile, her eyelids have been sewn, her nose and ears have been stuffed with Vaseline and her vagina and anus is also sewn. It is also discovered that she in the early stages of pregnancy, meaning the finger of suspicion is now pointing towards any male members of staff in the prison.
Can Helen find out from inside who is responsible for these murders? Is she in danger?
This book kept me on tenterhooks to the very, very end. Another absolutely first class novel from the fantastic M.J Arlidge.
