As Christmas approaches a terrifying killer must be stopped... As the snow falls the mutilated body of a young woman is discovered on a construction site. With it, good will becomes the last thing on Detective Jake Austin's mind... Then, when the demolition of the old Chase Asylum reveals further human remains it becomes clear that there's a link between the two deaths. And to the asylum's old warden who disappeared decades earlier. On the hunt for a clever, twisted killer, for Austin and his partner, it's going to be anything but a peaceful Christmas time...

Okay so on the face of it, this book was right up my street - a killer murdering his victims in a gory way & a detective who seems to have some quirky ability to see the victims final moments.

Jake Austin is the said detective, he's also coping with a stroppy teenager, a young baby & a mother with alzheimers at home , while at work has trouble with his boss, seems to be contemplating a fling with his psychiatrist....you get the picture, nothing new! None of these characters seemed very substantial to me & while the basis of the storyline was a good one it just didn't come off as very credible, by the last few chapters I was losing interest & just glad to finish it.
