About this ebook

Your next journey could be your last...

When a packed commuter train runs over a body on a stretch of track known to locals as ‘Suicide Mile’, it soon transpires that the man was a victim of a calculated murder.

 

As the investigation evolves and a pattern of murders is uncovered, Detective Sergeant Kay Hunter realises the railway’s recent reputation may be the work of a brutal serial killer.

 

With a backlog of cold cases to investigate and attempting to uncover who is behind a professional vendetta against her, Kay must keep one step ahead of both the killer and her own adversaries.

 

When a second murder takes place within a week of the first, she realises the killer’s timetable has changed, and she’s running out of time to stop him…

What readers are saying about Will to Live:

"One of the top crime thriller series out there. If you like your crime thrillers with a twist of psychological suspense and a smattering of procedure and a hint of hostility and grudges, then Will to Live is one for you! Fast paced, twisty and hooking you in from the start" Chapter in my Life

"I really, really love this series! I absolutely love Kay Hunter! She has just the right mix of professionalism and dedication but with a vulnerability that draws you to her." My Chestnut Reading Tree

"Starts with a bang and then the tension gathers momentum!" Bibliophile Book Club

Ratings and reviews

What a surprise! This book grabbed my interest from the first page and hasn't let go. Now, if you'll excuse me I'm about to finish it and then check out others by her. I'm enjoying this book. Haven't enjoyed anything as much since I discovered the Cormoran Strike books by Robert Galbraith ( JK Rowling ).

New Author for me ,very good 👍 well worth reading. Absolutely love mystery, mayhem. Can't wait to see what happens, but unfortunately it's then over much to soon . I recommend 👌

Well written dividing the scenes into short chapters creates the interest in wanting to read on. The research detail on railroad procedure was to the scale of being informative and did not become contrite keeping within the story line. Well done!
