Welcome to the book tour for A Life For A Life by Carol Wyer. Thank you to Zooloo’s Book Tours for the tour invite. Check out all the info below and my review!
Nobody can get into the mind of an erratic killer—except an unpredictable detective.
When a young man is found lying on a station platform with a hole in his head, DI Kate Young is called in to investigate the grisly murder. But the killing is no one-off. As bodies start to pile up, she is faced with what might be an impossible task—to hunt down a ruthless killer on a seemingly random rampage.
Meanwhile, Kate has her own demons to battle as she struggles to come to terms with her husband’s death. And she is hell-bent on exposing corruption within the force and bringing Superintendent John Dickson to justice. But with the trail of deception running deeper—and closer to home—than she could ever have imagined, she no longer knows who she can trust.
With her grip on reality slipping, Kate realises that maybe she and the killer are not so different after all. But time is running out and Kate is low on options. Can she catch the killer before she loses everything?

Review
A Life For A Life isn’t my first read from Carol Wyer. I really enjoy her writing and couldn’t wait to get into this one. This can be read as a standalone but I do feel like I know these characters a bit more which is always nice! But you wouldn’t have any issues reading this without reading the other two.
One of the strongest aspects of this book is the characters. Kate, in particular, is such a well-rounded character with a deep past which shapes her character. She makes realistic decisions and she’s relatable in ways.
This is very thrilling with twists galore. I was on the edge of my seat. Excellent read. I would recommend!
