The Perfect Girl

Detective Kat Ballantyne, Book 6

De: Andy Maslen

Narrado por: Ell Potter

How do you stop a killer no one believes exists?

DS Kat Ballantyne wants to know why a perfect girl like Rosie Duggan would jump to her death from a multistorey car park.

Everyone is saying she took her own life. But Kat is unconvinced. Girls like Rosie—bright, popular, well adjusted, and with her whole life ahead of her—don’t fall from tall buildings.

Unless someone pushes them.

When a second student dies the same way, Kat is the only one asking the hard questions.

As she digs deeper, a disturbing pattern begins to emerge. With loyalties fracturing and powerful enemies circling, shocking DNA evidence leads to a surprising suspect.

But has Kat really found the killer? Or has she just been played?

A lot to wrap up in next book

This one kept me guessing for a while. I waffled back & forth on suspects before the real culprit became apparent. I do appreciate that there are subtle storyline reminders from last book in the series throughout as I’ve gone through them soon after release and it is quite a wait (and many other books read) before the next release. I needed the reminders to bring the character profiles back to memory. I’m as delighted as I am annoyed by the unfinished business at end of this one…but enjoyed it. Will definitely be watching for the final book to drop in this series!

Well done

The story had many twists and turns. The characters were interesting as was the action. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
