What did I think?
With a horrifying prologue that chilled me to the bone, I knew from the very start that I was going to love CJ Carver's latest novel, Scare Me To Death, and I was not wrong; it's absolutely brilliant. Although it's the fourth book in the Dan Forrester series, it's the first one I've read so I can state with confidence that it can definitely be read as a standalone.
Dan is a wonderfully complex character who lost a lot of his memories when he witnessed a traumatic event. There's something very odd about that as it is only memories from a specific period of his life (and that of the traumatic event) that are missing; it's like they've been erased on purpose and it's certainly piqued my interest and made me want to read more about Dan in the previous books.
As if that wasn't tantalising enough, Dan's old friend DC Lucy Davies has one heck of a back story both in her career and her personal life. I loved how Lucy's story developed as her family history was untangled whilst she was investigating a brutal murder. With all this going on, I'm surprised her head didn't explode!
The story of the murder of Kaitlyn Rogers is so perfectly plotted that it left me breathless. When Dan follows a lead to Morocco I was on the edge of my seat as the danger level increased and I became even more intrigued by what Kaitlyn had discovered that led to her murder.
Gripping from start to finish, Scare Me To Death is a thriller with a capital T. Filled with danger and intrigue that left me breathless, I couldn't read this fantastic book fast enough. Very highly recommended and I'll definitely be reading the earlier books in the series now.
Many thanks to CJ Carver for sending me a digital ARC to read and review; this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
