The case takes a darker turn that afternoon with another shocking discovery – the broken body of a second young woman, pushed from the roof of the hospital where she worked. I would not be inviting this girl to sleep on my couch after she acted unhinged like that two days in a row, but the plot must go on, right? It’s been almost two weeks since I read this book; it still loves rent-free in my head and will be for a long time.

It's always a pleasure when an author finds a good narrator and retains her/him throughout the series. And it's not long before attention focuses on the city's most unlikely suspects: a wealthy family whose philanthropy has made them famous and influential. The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal. I liked seeing Archie have a chapter in here, it really teased his book in the series which I can´t wait to get to. I’m not sure it’s a place I’d love though as it has more than it’s fair share of psychopaths and serial killers.

They each have their own bags to carry and I feel like they did help each other figure a lot of things out.

And yes it’s 6:45am and I started reading at 10pm from technical yesterday and haven’t gone to sleep yet! It was poignantly written and didn’t shy away from the hard and tough moments a survivor of any kind of assault goes through each day. The victims and suspects are all linked together in a complicated web of family ties and business dealings. Lottie thinks he's found someone younger so that puts her in a continually bad mood, sniping and snarling at everyone. I relate to Alicia so much and sometimes I wish I had that one person who would love me unconditionally to the point where they’d let them go.Lottie Parker is trying to determine what wedding garb has to do with the bodies that are being found. Broken Souls is full of mysteries and secrets; it will keep you guessing, that's for sure with a few shocks at the end as well.

It looked like an abattoir when they found the mutilated body of the young journalist inside her car. Then there's a water leak the next day and she just sits down and screams bloody murder and stares into the distance while the water continues spraying out until her neighbor hears and snaps her out of it? A great storyline with all the usual twists and turns we expect from Patricia's writing but a few red herrings in there.And how many people in the world have been killed while we've been sitting here having this cosy little chat?
