Description
'A thrill a minute - I loved it!' Clare Mackintosh
NO ONE KNOWS THE MIND OF A KILLER LIKE EMMA KAVANAGH.
I've been watching you DS Alice Parr.
I saw you trying to save the poor young woman you found in the park.
The woman I tried to kill.
I've been waiting for you to find her family. To find someone who cares about her.
But you can't can you?
You've never had a case like this.
I know everything about you. You know nothing about me.
Even though I'm the man you're looking for.
And you will never catch me...

'Fast-moving. Unexpected twists. Punchy writing. This author has teeth! A perfect thriller for winter nights!' Jane Corry
'A real white-knuckle ride of a thriller that packs a big emotional punch. This is top class crime writing.' Tammy Cohen
'Wow. Whether you like fast-paced thrillers or in-depth (spot-on) character-led mysteries, you're going to love To Catch a Killer by Emma Kavanagh. LOVED it.' Caz Frear
'This transatlantic thriller has elements of Bourne and Lee Child while remaining true to its British police procedural roots. Beautifully written, expertly paced and highly entertaining.' Sinead Crowley
'Pacy, emotional and a cracking read!' Jane Isaac
'A darkly brilliant tale of psychological manipulation, which I was entirely hooked by, from page one. Bravo, Emma!' Kate Rhoades
'I absolutely loved it. I was completely hooked from the start, it was a stunning read. Plus the ending blew me away.' Rebecca Bradley
'To Catch a Killer is a pacy cat-and-mouse thriller with real depth and a protagonist I want to go for a drink with. A brilliant character-driven story perfect for anyone who adores a twisting, turning read. I loved it.' Amanda Jennings

A perfect thriller for winter nights! * Jane Corry, author of The Dead Ex * A real white-knuckle ride of a thriller that packs a big emotional punch. This is top class crime writing. * Tammy Cohen * Wow. Whether you like fast-paced thrillers or in-depth (spot-on) character-led mysteries, you're going to love To Catch a Killer by Emma Kavanagh. LOVED it. * Caz Frear * This transatlantic thriller has elements of Bourne and Lee Child while remaining true to its British police procedural roots.

A brilliant character-driven story perfect for anyone who adores a twisting, turning read. I loved it. * Amanda Jennings * Absorbing page-turner that delivers the twists. * Sunday Times Crime Club * Effortlessly turns and twists, all the while ratcheting up the tension. * Living * I absolutely raced through it and loved every minute of the heart-pounding cat-and-mouse chase. DS Alice Parr is brilliant, three-dimensional, and utterly memorable, and I can't wait to see more of her soon. * Elle Croft * Perfect for fans of tense thrillers. * Candis * Exceptional. Simply exceptional as crime/ thriller reads go. This is just a very clever read; perfect if you love detective dramas. * Woman's Way * One of the key ingredients in modern bestsellers is the woman-in-peril story. Exciting * The Tablet * Twists and turns abound in Emma Kavanagh's heart-pounding police procedural thriller, which introduces a compelling new lead in the form of DS Alice Parr ... a frightening game of cat and mouse with a killer who's watching her every move. Just when you think you've got the measure of the story, Kavanagh throws another curveball that will leave you slack-jawed. Be prepared to read this in one sitting. * CultureFly *More details
