Great addition to the D.I. Kim Stone series!
Play Dead is the 4th book in the series by Angela Marsons.
I’m still enjoying the characters, plots and writing in this series. Without a doubt!
It seems like Marsons has found her niche with writing crime detective thrillers. She’s just damn good at it.

Play Dead starts off with D.I. Kim Stone and her detective squad going to the Westerly research facility. This facility is a body farm where human bodies are donated for investigation to help with decomposition and cold cases.

While there, D.I. Kim Stone finds a fresh body that’s not meant to be there. And this is the start of what turns into a race to figure out why these women are being killed and who the actual killer is.
I enjoyed the tension and mystery of who the serial killer was from their POV chapters. Those chapters were very gripping. I thought the ending was a little too convenient with the circumstances of the killer, but I still enjoyed it!

I’m not sure where Marsons plans on taking the character of D.I. Kim Stone. I enjoy reading about characters that grow with the series and I’m hoping for more emotional growth from this character.

Recommended to fans of crime detective thrillers and people that love a great, suspenseful read!
Looking forward to continuing with this series!
