DI Callanach, Book 6

By: Helen Fields

He had never heard himself scream before. It was terrifying.

Alone, trapped in the darkness and with no way out, Bart Campbell knows that his chances of being found alive are slim.

Drugged and kidnapped, the realisation soon dawns that he’s been locked inside a shipping container far from his Edinburgh home. But what Bart doesn’t yet know is that he’s now heading for France where his unspeakable fate is already sealed…

DCI Ava Turner and DI Luc Callanach are working on separate cases that soon collide as it becomes clear that the men and women being shipped to France are being traded for women trafficked into Scotland.

With so many lives at stake, they face an impossible task – but there’s no option of failure when Bart and so many others will soon be dead…

Get ready for a rollercoaster ride like no other, with the next gripping thriller from the number one bestselling crime author, Helen Fields. The perfect read for fans of M. J. Arlidge and Karin Slaughter.

Critic reviews

"Perfect Kill is a compelling breathless read. Unflinching, brave and so well researched and considered." (Essie Fox)

"Utterly compelling, as ever, and dizzyingly twisted, with characters so real they could step off the page." (BP Walter)

A compelling story despite some truly ghoulish elements

I did not enjoy some of the voice choices by the narrator in this one, particularly Luc’s French Interpol partner. But, all in all, a satisfying experience.

DCI Turner Series?

Yes, another fine novel.

I have long since taken umbrage that this series is called the “DI Luc Callanach” series. I’m certain all readers of these novels adore Luc Callanach. With that said, DCI Ava Turner is the real badass. How paternalistic to name this series after the leading man. I’m not a hardcore feminist. Isn’t it time to rename this series to the Turner and Callanach series? Seriously.

Everything was fabulous!

I love the characters in all
Of the DI Callanach series. The narrator is phenomenal!

Awesome But...

I am totally ready for Ava & Jean Luke to ‘Get It On’! ;)
...I can’t wait to listen to the next book!

gruesome

I love this series but I found my self fast forwarding through the graphic torturous violence and sexual assault against women in this one. The story is great as always but one of the chapters I just had to fast-forward to the end of the chapter. I did read the next book and still love the series but this one was a little rough
