Dark House: An absolutely gripping serial killer thriller (Detective Lucy Harwin) by Helen PhiferMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the first book i've read by Helen Phifer. The Dark House was previously The Lost Children, I think both names are perfect for the story. Dark House is book 1 of the Detective Lucy Harwin series.
I received an ARC of book 2 but before I started it, I purchased book 1 so that I could read the books in order. (i'm odd like that)
This was a real interesting read and in parts brutally gruesome, it was also very difficult to put down.
The Moore Asylum was closed down back in the 1970's. It seems now some of the secrets that were kept behind the doors of Ward 13 at the asylum are about to be revealed.
The old asylum has been empty for many years, and has now gone up for sale. When the estate agent goes to show a potential buyer around they make a pretty grim discovery.
It's Detective Lucy Harwins first day back at work after an absence. Thrown right back into the thick of things. Lucy wouldn't have it any other way.
With a body found it's right back to business for Lucy.
Lucy and partener Mattie have their work cut out investigating this one.
This is a great start to a series, this book has been put together brilliantly. It's a story you want and need to keep reading right up to the very end.
I really liked the main characters Lucy and Mattie and getting to them has been great. I like the banter between them both. I can see this being a really sought after series of books. Now for me it's book 2, at least I don't have to wait to read it. It's sat on my kindle waiting for me.
