However when some suicides are reported and appear suspicious, Kim finds herself drawn back in again and into the murky world of a “conversion clinic” that helps people cure themselves of gayness(I kid you not and they do exist in real life unbelievably). But when Detective Kim Stone and her team discover the fresh body of a young woman, it seems a killer has discovered the perfect cover to bury their crime.

Finding something wrong with Jamie's parents reaction to his death, it didn't take Kim long to discover it was murder. This is such a clever tactic because there is never a dull moment and it always adds even more tension and suspense to the story. Kim makes a further chilling discovery – the head of the clinic, Celia Gardner, was sent there for conversion therapy when she was sixteen.The author has brilliantly captured that turmoil, the conflict within Kim that affects her in ways that occasionally upset the rhythm of the team. I absolutely LOVED the originality of this plot, something that even though I've only read in passing has always held and intrigue to me.

Seemingly outwitted at every turn, as they uncover a trail of bodies, Stone realises that these ruthless killers might be the most deadly she has ever faced. This one sounds like there is a lot of background revealed about some of the characters which I love. So many layers and such a complex and emotive case that it’s no wonder it gets right under Kim’s skin. If you’re a fan of this series you know the previous book, Six Graves was an emotional rollercoaster leaving Kim in a dark place.She is able to convince (f00l) the therapist that she has progressed further along in recovery than in reality and still has disturbing nightmares.
