The Girl in the River - Kate Rhodes

Praise for the Alice Quentin series:

"A fast-moving, entertaining mix of sex, suspense and serial killings." -Washington Post

"Alice is a vividly realized protagonist whose complex and harrowing history rivals the central crime storyline." -New York Times bestselling author Sophie Hannah
