Goodreads synopsis:
The Sunday Times bestselling author of The Teacher and Truth or Die is back with a new twisty crime thriller.
I’m alive. But I can’t be saved . . .
When a woman’s body is found submerged in icy water, police are shocked to find she is alive. But she won’t disclose her name, or what happened to her – even when a second body is discovered. And then she disappears from her hospital bed.
Detectives Adrian Miles and Imogen Grey follow their only lead to the home of Reece Corrigan, and when his wife Angela walks in, they immediately recognisze her. She’s the woman from the river, with her injuries carefully masked.
The more they dig into the couple, the less they understand about them.
Why have people in their past been hurt, or vanished?
And why doesn’t Angela want to be saved?
Smart, shocking and twisty – perfect for fans of Cara Hunter and Karin Slaughter.

This is the sixth book in the Detectives Adrian Miles and Imogen Grey series by Katerina Diamond.
All I can say is WOW. What a pulsating thrill ride. This series will never be the same after this!
The book starts out with Adrian Miles saving a woman from drowning. She clings to him and seems so innocent. Don’t’ be fooled. This woman is mega complex and the more you get to know about her the more screwed up her life seems. I am marveling at how the plot twists and turns in this police procedural/thriller. I don’t want to give a lot away but WOW! This is scary stuff.
I am not sure the relationship between Adrian and Imogene will ever be the same after the effects of Adrian’s attack. The man is kidnapped and raped during a five hour time period. He never connects his attack to the case he is working on but somehow manages to retain the evidence for a future time when he is in a better headspace.
When all is wrapped up with the case, Adrian is still at odds with his feeling about being a cop. I am worried. Will this mean the end for Imogene and Adrian? Will he ever find a way past his fears? Time will tell. The next book cannot come fast enough for me. I have so many questions.
I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) in return for an honest review. I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title.
