"Don't Look Behind You" by Mel Sherratt

I received this book for free from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

"Don't Look Behind You" is the second book in the Detective Eden Berrisford series by Mel Sherratt.
There are two story lines that intersect throughout the book. First, Detective Eden Berrisford is scrambling to catch a serial attacker/rapist before he attacks again or escalates and kills. The second story is that of Carla. Carla is trying to live her life even though she lives each day in terror. She is always looking over her shoulder and afraid that her abusive ex-husband will be released from jail and finally catch up with her to “make her pay.”

The setting is modern times in Stockleigh. The author tells Carla’s backstory through flashbacks throughout the book. The ending is interesting and satisfying.

I devoured this book in less than 48 hours. It is well written and engaging. I highly recommend, especially if you like thrillers. Exciting, but not gory. Even though this was the second book in the series, this book was a standalone story and any facts pertinent, were explained.

This is the first book that I have read from this author, but it won’t be the last. I plan to catch up with the first book in the series and the next one when it comes out. I have to find out what happens with Eden, her husband and Jed Jackson! She has also written two other series that sound promising.
