A REAL DON'T WANT TO PUT IT DOWN READ'
15 October 2018
This is a really good, gripping read from D S Butler. The new Detective ( Karen Hart ) is an interesting character. I look forward to seeing more of her & how she evolves. I love the fact she is her own person & is not afraid to buck the system if she feels it necessary. The story holds you as you try to work out what's happened, but it is weaved so well that the twist surprises you. If this is the first book you have read by this Author, I urge you to read her D S Jack MacKinnon series. Great characters & great story telling. I am sure Karen Hart will become a favourite too. Thanks for the pleasure of yet another good read D S Butler

So terribly written that it was difficult to keep my concentration. I had to give up at 32% or else scratch my eyes out. I hope Ms Butler's writing abilities and style improve with the following books, but at the moment I can't bring myself to read them to find out.

Loved this book. I've read several books by this author under this name and also writing as Dani Oakley. They are well written intelligent books with characters who draw you in and keep you involved in the story.
In this case, two young girls disappear on their way home from school. The ensuing search introduces a complex group of characters all with their own back stories of which we get a glimpse characters range from the over enthusiastic new officer to the experienced and the exhausted.
Relationships evolve alongside the plot, the twists and turns are largely believable and there is promise of more to come.
Looking forward to the next in the series.

I have read a lot of books by this author but I think this is my favourite so far. I literally couldn't put it down. The characters draw you in and I could feel the tension that must happen in true life situation within the police force. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish. Congratulations D S Butler. I can't wait for the next one.

This is a well written book, with all the elements of mystery concerning the two missing young girls. The case gets cold, all leads are dead ends. Karen has a hunch about one family who own a large old farm, but it leads nowhere. As the story unfurls, and also involves another missing girl, who has not been found after 18 months , we wonder how it will all end.
A good story, keeping you wanting to read on and find out what will happen.

This was my first book by D. S Butler that I had read. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly I was hooked. The characters and the storyline was very realistic and believable. It was intriguing and also very current to the world we all sadly live in today. Where crimes against children and the internet and mental illness are becoming the main sources of horrific murders, rapes and child abuse and grooming gangs or individuals.
This book is brilliant at transporting you into the detectives lives of hard work, endless dead end leads, suspicion and good old intuition. Which goes into every case they are given. I recommend to every crime thriller enthusiast to buy this book. You won't be disappointed.

I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of this novel, and saved it for my recent holiday- it certainly was worth the wait. The new Detective Series with Karen Hart, did not disappoint. I loved it, the characters were great and the plot kept you guessing right to the end, with lots of twists and turns. Yet another great novel from D S Butler and can't wait to read Book 2 in the Karen Hart series.

A lightweight mystery written in a simple but clear way. You could actually like the main characters as they weren’t too flawed. Many DI’s these days have such deviant backgrounds that you wonder how they could become a cop in the first place. I will order the next one and see how it goes.
