From the Dark (The Forensic File – 5) by KA Richardson
Who will save you when the monsters creep…
Antonia Baillie is a true Romani gypsy – she has the gift of foresight and uses this to help people.
When the ghosts of the past come calling, can she put her own fears aside and work with the police to help find who is torturing and killing young men?
Detective Sergeant Mark McKay has never had a need to solve a case using a psychic. He doesn’t believe in it – pure and simple.
But when Antonia tells him the name of a young man and gives him details specific to the case, he can’t help but change his view when a body matching what she says, is found in the vaults deep under the city.
Mark and Antonia race against a spree of monstrous crimes, long-standing grudges and the perils of the darkness in the vaults under Edinburgh to try and find a sadistic killer before time runs out.
Can they stop him before he strikes again?
Will they discover who is responsible?
And can they do it without becoming victims themselves?

My Review
5 stars
Antonia Baillie is a Romani gypsy and psychic. She has been using her abilities to help others when she has a vision of a young man brutally murdered and where the body is. DS Mark McKay doesn’t believe in psychics and initially brushed Antonia off until a young man is found brutally murdered and hidden, just like she said. Now they are going to have to work together to stop this killer.
Mark McKay is a battle scared detective that doesn’t have time of patience for fake psychic. But he can’t help believing when Toni talks about a young man and explains things that no one else could know without having been at the body. What they don’t know is that this is the start of a new serial killer and they are going to have their work cut out for them on this hunt,
I admit that I have not read any of the other books in this series but I had no problems figuring out what was going on. I’m sure if you read the prior books you would see a greater depth to this one. This book is full of brutal killings and a serial killer that seems to be one step ahead of Mark McKay and Toni. I was kept on my toes and the edge of my seat hoping they would catch the killer before he struck again.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. I voluntarily chose to read and post an honest review.
I would like to thank Bloodhound Books for the opportunity to read and share this book.
