Woman in the Water (D.S. Imogen Grey #6) by Katerina Diamond

 

From Goodreads

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 recognise 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.

My thoughts

Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.  This book has been sat waiting patiently to be read since I was approved for it back in Nov, 19.  I have no idea why it took me so long to get round to it, but I wish I'd got to it sooner.

This is the 6th in the D.S. Imogen Grey series by Katerina.  I have previously read The Teacher by her, which is the first in this series.  I gave that one a 4 stars or 8/10 and like this one, it is definitely not for the faint hearted at all.

As I have just mentioned this story should come with the warning ** NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED **, due to some of the content contained between the pages.  Katerina Diamond has a warped mind for sure and knows how to portray some scenes of a sadistic nature, but she handles them well and they are in no way gratuitous as they help weave the story well.

When a body of a woman is found submerged in water, the most shocking thing is that she is actually still alive.  When she disappears from her hospital bed after a second body is found, suspicions are awoken as to what is actually happening.  She still remains anonymous much to the annoyance of the Police, who are frantically trying to work out what is going on.  As the story develops there are plenty of twists and turns along the way as we are taken on a journey along with the Police, that culminates in secrets from the past being dug up. 

Woman in the Water is a well written thriller by this prolific Author.  It is a great addition to the D.S. Imogen series and I look forward to reading those that I have missed.
