The Shark by Mary Burton is the #1 book in the Forgotten Files series. After consuming this one, I’ve now moved onto book 2 as well as read other standalone books by this author. I picked this one up as I’m a huge fan of crime thrillers with interesting perpetrators and crimes and I couldn’t go past a card playing serial killer. I loved the connection between past and present as the horrific reality of this one comes to light in a fast-paced twist-filled conclusion. I was drawn in by the exciting and captivating cover but stayed for the non-stop thrill ride of a story. A new favorite author.
