Vengeance is Mine by Michael Wood


Description from Goodreads:

"A GRUESOME MURDER

Twenty years ago, a young girl vanished from a quiet street in Northumberland. When her body was found in an attic close to her home, the whole neighbourhood was shocked.

A DEVASTATING SECRET

For her entire life, Dawn Shephard has never known her father. But when news breaks that a murderer is about to be released from prison, her mother has no choice but to reveal his identity.

THE ORIGINS OF EVIL

As Dawn digs into her father’s history, she lands on a chilling connection. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes. Just how far will she go to discover if a killer’s blood runs through her veins?"

I love Michael Wood's DCI Matilda Darke series but this is a standalone thriller from him which is equally as good.

Once again, Mr Wood deals with difficult issues; the murder of a young teenager and the impact this has on not only the victims family but also the family of the perpetrator which increases in intensity when the murderer is released. 

With excellent characters, a riveting plot and written at a good pace using a style and language that really draws you in, grabs you by the throat, flings you around and doesn't let go until the end.   

I would definitely recommend this book and others by Michael Wood; I haven't been disappointed yet and my thanks must go to the author, HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of yet another cracker from Michael Wood.
