I loved the familiarity of this book. The book is set in Western Sydney, the scenes and settings are so real and familiar to me, having lived in this area myself.
The body of a teenage girl, has been discovered on the grounds of a prestigious boys private school in North Parramatta. She's dead, wrapped in plastic.
The body is linked to the "Gladesville" serial killer, where multiple victims were murdered, and found wrapped in plastic at their place of residence.
The investigation is undertaken by Detective Riley, who enlists the assistance of a journalist who is an ex student of the boys private school. His familiarity of the school and the way it operates and his investigative nature, could be a big asset in solving the case, or he could possibly be a suspect himself.
This novel is possibly one of the best thriller's I have read recently. The suspense, there is absolutely no chance of guessing or predicting who the killer would be. There is no romantic rendezvous the middle of the book, as most crime novels seem to add these days. It is 100% pure crime thriller!
