Review: The Dead Ground

The Dead Ground by Claire McGowan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Firsly I would like to thank the publishers for sending me a paperback copy of this book for review. I also ended up buying the book on kindle so my Mum could enjoy it. And as I don't always have room to store books, it's a good way of getting to keep a copy.

​Book 2 in the Paula MaGuire Series. I recently read book 1 The Lost And really enjoyed it.
​You can read my review of that on my blog. or clicking here.

​So here we are again back with the wonderful Paula. She's a little mixed up this time, with things going on in her private life that she is so unsure of.

​She is faced with helping on a kidnapping case, as a forensic psychologist she works very closely with the police in the missing persons unit. Sometimes a little to closely.
​This case soon turns into a murder case, and its down to the team to figure out what the hell is going on, and why babies are being taken from their parents.
​Is there a link somewhere of is it just some mad Man/Woman taking them randomly.

​Time is running out, if they are to save other babies, and save themselves then this team needs to act and act fast.

​As I said this is the 2nd book I have read from this author featuring Paula McGuire, and she's a character I'm really beginning to like. I keep rooting for her, want to tell her off when she makes the wrong decisions, and root for her in what she does.
​I was gutted I didn't get the answer to the one question throughout this book, that I wanted to know. ( I wont say as I don't want to spoil it). But I am so glad I now have book 3 to start, and I'm sure then next book will have to answer those lingering questions.

​Overall - An interesting read, you can get lost in the story, and feel a part of it. I would recommend reading the first book for the character background. But all in all a good book and a 4/5 from me.
