The Shadow Man - Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thrilling Rollercoaster. 

Fergus thinks Angela is his angel, his perfect wife. When her husband takes their kids camping,  Fergus makes his move. But Angela dies.  Weeks later, he tries again with Elspeth. 

Connie is brought to assist Detective Inspector Gaard of Scotland Police with the kidnapping of Elsbeth,  daughter in law of a wealthy man. Connie uses her forensic psychology background to compile a profile  - visiting the abduction scene, past events. And then a 12 year old is kidnapped from her school's parking lot.  

Meggy sparks Elsbeth's drive to survive - together trying fo find a way to escape. Then Fergus falls down the stairs - he's convinced he's dying. And that's 25% in the book. 

What a chilling tale. Told from various perspectives- Connie,  Elsbeth and Fergus, gives the plot an insight into all the key characters.  

I loved these characters- the humanity,  humor, tragedy. 

Highly recommend.
