DESCRIPTION:
Late one evening, as the final church bell rings out, Sandra Deakin’s cold and lifeless body is found in the overgrown graveyard with multiple stab wounds. When Detective Kim Stone rushes to the scene, the violence of the attack convinces her that this murder was deeply personal. What could have caused such hate?
As the team dig into Sandra’s life, they discover she believed she could communicate with the dead. Was that why she was targeted? The last people to see her alive were a group of women who had a session with her the night before she was killed, and as Kim and her team pay them a visit, they soon learn each of the women is lying about why they wanted Sandra’s help…
Kim realises she must dig deep and open her mind to every avenue if she’s going to stand a chance at solving this case. And when she learns that Sandra was banned from the church grounds and had been receiving death threats too, she’s ever more certain that Sandra’s gifts are at the heart of everything.
But just when she thinks she’s found a lead, the broken body of a nineteen-year-old boy is found outside a call centre – a single slash across his mouth just like Sandra’s. Kim knows they are now racing against time to understand what triggered these attacks, and to stop a twisted killer.
But they might be too late. Just as Kim sits down at a local psychic show she discovers something that makes her blood run cold. Both Sandra and the call centre were named in an article about frauds. And this show stars the next name on the list. She looks around the audience with a feeling of utter dread, certain the killer is among them…
Totally addictive with a final twist that will leave you shouting out loud, you’ll want to inhale Deadly Fate in one sitting. Fans of Karin Slaughter, Val McDermid and Robert Dugoni will love the new crime thriller from the number one multi-million-copy bestselling author Angela Marsons.

MY THOUGHTS:
When the body of local psychic Sandra Deakin is discovered, DI Kim Stone and her team realize they are facing a brutal killer. Despite evidence that the victim fought valiantly, the number and manner of stab wounds proves a vengeful killer.
Kim is determined to find the killer, all while finding the motive that was behind killing the psychic. Meanwhile her team is looking into other cases, so they are as busy as ever, and after a second psychic’s body is found, Kim is more determined than ever to solve her latest case.
I am not sure how Angela Marsons does it, but she grabs the reader’s attention from the very first page and the tension increases page after page. While Kim’s case is paramount, Penn is looking for answers after the body of a homeless man was found. Meanwhile, Stacey is facing a hairy predicament. These cases may have been separate, but the bond and connection between Kim and her team is undeniably strong. And the conclusion! Waiting for book nineteen will be brutal!
Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
