    About this ebook

    ‘DCI Matilda Darke is the perfect heroine’ Elly Griffiths

    The third book in Michael Wood’s darkly compelling crime series featuring DCI Matilda Darke. Perfect for fans of Peter James, Lee Child and Karin Slaughter.

    Eight killers. One house. And the almost perfect murder…

    Starling House is home to some of the nation’s deadliest teenagers, still too young for prison.

    When the latest arrival is found brutally murdered, DCI Matilda Darke and her team investigate, and discover a prison manager falling apart and a sabotaged security system. Neither the staff nor the inmates can be trusted.

    The only person Matilda believes is innocent is facing prison for the rest of his life. With time running out, she must solve the unsolvable to save a young man from his fate, and find a murderer in a house full of killers…

      An adolescent shriek woke her. Cockerels, she thought, cockerels, with a wry twist to the word. She lay in the dark listening. There was no use in covering her head; the screaming still came through. The soloist was suddenly submerged in the chorus.

    • 4/5
      Scary book; a home for teenage murderers and a flawed police officer. Thoroughly enjoyed this story.
    • 4/5
      This instalment is set in an institution for teenage murderers and is very dark in places. Matilda continues to cope better with her grief and guilt, although her actions towards the end were (in my opinion) a big misjudgment. Well-plotted with a good ending.
