hard to imagine how frightening it would be to wake up in hospital in both physical and emotional pain, Knowing that when you do go home the one support you are used to counting on isnt there anymore, that relationship is gone.
But lucky for Daisy she has her new found friend and housemate Iris who is going to help her through working out what happened that fateful night.
Or will she
The fourth book in the Detective Dan Riley series, that can easily be read as a standalone.
takes the reader on one wild ride, Full of so much tension and suspense, I was on the edge of my seat, completely addicted and hooked to see how this was all going to unfold.
The plot pulled me in and AnnaLou Weatherley does a great job of making you feel involved in the story.
I was stuck to Dans side throughout as I tried to solve case with him, Each twist and turn had me gasping for breath and left me with a pounding heart as I furiously flicked the pages in our race to catch the killer!
Even though I had only read the third book in the series before this one, I really love Dans character.
He left a lasting impression on me and I enjoyed getting to know him that bit more this time round, The other cast of characters are well developed and written and I loved how AnnaLou Weatherley takes the reader deep into the killers mind.
A great job has been done and with sensitivity on the subject of mental illness,
I enjoy AnnaLou Weatherleys engaging storytelling and she knows exactly how to grab the readers attention right from the get go, never letting up until the final page.
If life had not rudely got in the way whilst reading this, I would have easily been able to read this in one sitting.
The Woman Inside is a chilling police procedural crossed with a psychological thriller that is a real page turner, A throughly enjoyable and entertaining read, I look forward to seeing what AnnaLou Weatherley will have in store for Detective Dan Riley next! It was a pleasure to read and review The Woman Inside which I recommend.
Thank you to AnnaLou Weatherley, Bookouture and NetGalley for allowing me to read an advanced copy of The Woman Inside, which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
I really enjoyed this. Daisey Garrett is left for dead as the Rose Petal Rippers third victim but when DI Dan Riley arrives to view the scene he detects the faintest signs of life in Daisey.
She survives without any disability but cannot remember anything from the day of the attack, This is very frustrating for the police as there is no evidence to be had from any of the crime scenes but surely, in surviving the attack, Daisey will have seen something to help police with their inquiries if only she could remember what happened!
In the absence of any firm evidence the police focus their investigation on Warwicks the department store that both Daisey and one of the other victims worked at.
Could the killer be working there too It is like looking for a needle in a haystack though, The narrative is set largely in the present but there are also flashbacks from thes, As the decade progresses the flashbacks become increasingly disturbing but you soon work out where things are heading,
Daisey turns out to be a feisty and strong young woman who fights back when she finds herself in danger again.
I really should check these things this is the fifth book in the Dan Riley series and I hate reading out of order but I had read the second book and enjoyed it also.
My major gripe with the book is that I found it quite predictable and I knew who the killer was early on, but strangely it didnt detract much from my enjoyment.
I do read a lot of books like this so maybe its not surprising, Yet despite the lack of surprises for me I was still invested the story, Weatherleys writing and vibrant characters were able to carry the plot successfully and I can recommend this book to crime, mystery and thriller fans.
Thanks to Netgalley, Bookouture and AnnaLou Weatherley for providing a copy for me to review, My opinions are my own, This is theth book in the Dan Riley series, though can be read as a standalone, It centers on Daisey, who is attacked and left for dead in a similar way toother recent murders, making it appear that there is a serial killer on the loose.
Daisey cannot remember the attack, and Dan is racing against the clock to figure out what happened before another murder occurs, There are also some flashback chapters, but we don't know the identity of the family they feature,
I find Dan Riley extremely likeable and real, Usually I am annoyed when time is spent on the backstory of detectives solving a case in books like this, but I enjoy reading about Dan, both in his professional endeavors as well as his personal life.
The reveal of the villain and the ending of the book is a little farfetched, but I still enjoyed it.
I thought I had figured out the twist early on which was actually less convoluted than what ended up happening but I was wrong.
Overall, I like this series and this book is no exception, I would recommend it to those who like police procedurals and mysteries, Thanks to Netgalley for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review, Ominous, spellbinding, and utterly disturbing, “The Woman Inside” sucks you in from the very first page and keeps you submerged until the very end when you resurface, shocked and out of breath from the deadly twist.
Although its the fourth book in the Detective Dan Riley series, it can easily be read as a standalone,
After Daisey Garrett barely survives an attack from a serial killer, amnesia prevents her from recalling the horrific event.
The last thing she remembers was being with her cheating exfiancé the morning before, a detail she hides from the police at his request.
Her mind broken and her body scarred, she starts drinking more to cope with her foreverchanged life, Luckily, her new flat mate Iris is there for her, offering friendship and a sense of security, especially when fragmented memories of the attack start to come back.
She cant shake the feeling that shes somehow familiar with her attacker, even if she cant recall his face,
Detective Dan Riley has no clues to the identity of the killer, Daisey regaining her memory is the best chance he has to stop whoever it is before he strikes again, He hopes hypnotherapy will help Daisey, as well as the case, But it may be too late, Another girl is dead. Daisey is missing. Its a tense, breathless last couple of chapters that bring the story to a close,
“The Woman Inside” is an engrossing, hardtoputdown psychological thriller that sneaks up on you, It reads more like crime fiction for most of the novel, Although Daisey has amnesia, her mental state does little to drive the plot as is expected in the genre, Instead, its Detective Rileys hunt for the killer, But never fear unless youre Daisey, The killer lurks in the shadows of the pages, his creepy, ominous vibe growing the more you read, Just as he does with Daisey, hell feel familiar to you, like youve met him in one of the secondary storylines, Youll be blown away when you realize who he is and how this characters mental state helped drive the plot all along without you realizing it.
“The Woman Inside” wasnt what I was expecting before I read it or even after a few chapters in, It was better. Much better. Now, Im going back to read the other books in this series!
Thank you to Bookouture and AnnaLou Weatherly for an advanced eARC of the book in exchange for an honest review.
After a work event, Daisey goes home only to be attacked by what the public is calling The Rose Petal Ripper.
Dan abandons the remainder of his paternity leave to return to his investigative team,
Upon her return home, Daisey takes on a roommate, Iris, They work together, around the same age and single,
Insight into the killer is shared a young woman gives birth to twons, But Tracey becomes obsessed with her son telling anyone who will listen he is evil,
This book sucked me in from the beginning but quickly lost my interest, Predictable. What a phenomenal book. Mental health touched upon in this book so well written,
Loved all the characters and how the story evolved, Can't wait to read more from this detective storyline,
Thanks to the Author, the publisher an NetGalley for an early release of this book, Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture on the arc of The Woman Inside by AnnaLou Weatherly,
This was ath in a series but i hadnt read the other but it was a great read and very thrilling, and lots of twists and turns great one
Decective Dan Riley
Daisey Garrett wakes up in a hospital bed.
She can't remember what happened to her or that she was attacked in her own home, Daisey should have died that night but her new friend and roommate will help Daisey get backon her feet,
I did work out the plot twist early on but that never spoils my enjoyment of a good book, Daisey had been attacked in her apartment after beeing at a works night out, She had recently split from her fiance Luke, She has no memory of the night she was attacked, She takes in a roommate to help her through as she struggles to remember, DI Dan Riley is working on her case desperste to sole it before another woman is attacked and killed, The story has a duel timeline, The mother od twind, a girl and boy thinks her son is evil, This is another fantastic read that was hard to put down, A cleverley crafted plot with some complex characters, I love Dan Riley so i hope there's more to come from him in future,
i would like to thank NetGalley, Bookouture and the authorAnnaLouWeatherley for my ARC in exchange for
an honest review, This is the fourth instalment in the DI Dan Riley series and in this one he and his team are on the hunt for a murderer dubbed The Rose Petal Ripper.
The story is partly narrated by Dan, by Daisey a victim and backtracks toto fill in gaps in our understanding, This works well as the storyline flows seamlessly,
Well, if you are half asleep when starting this book youll rapidly be jolted awake and become immersed in the plot! The premise is good, I really like the psychological aspects of the storyline both in Daisey and in the perpetrator.
There are parts of the book that are chilling and you sense the fear and apprehension especially in the sections from thes.
Although there are some clues in the direction the plot is taking that doesnt detract from the enjoyment as it gets intriguingly weird.
However, I do think apprehending the murderer is a a bit too drawn out and so loses some impact, I really like the characters especially Dan Riley, Hes a well developed character and has a very likeable personality, I especially like his wry self deprecating approach and his following his gut instincts.
Im always partial to a fictional lead detective who goes out on a limb! I like the end and it gives hope for a more settled and happier life for him.
DCI Archer is an interesting character but I would like more development of DS Lucy Davis as she didnt come across very strongly in this.
Overall, an enjoyable read with tension and suspense and good twists, Im looking forward to the next one!
With thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for the arc for an honest review.
