Girl 4

Detective Inspector January David has always put his professional before his private life, but the two worlds are about to clash horrifically as he visits his latest crime scene. He is confronted by a lifeless figure suspended ten feet above a theatre stage, blood pouring from her face into a coffin below. This gruesome execution is the work of an elusive serial killer.

Three women from three different London suburbs, each murdered with elaborate and chilling precision. And as January stares at the most beautiful corpse he's ever seen, he detects the killer's hallmark.

But Girl 4 is different: she is alive - barely. And January recognises her...

Reviews

There is a vivid - almost cinematic - quality to the writing. It is intense and makes for uncomfortable yet compulsive reading

—— News of the World

Will Carver's debut crime thriller centres around Detective Inspector January David's efforts to catch a serial killer. A tense and often gory read, this will have readers trying to guess who the killer is from page one

—— Press Association

This writer will go from strength to strength and I believe we will be hearing a lot more from Mr. Carver.

Brilliant debut, highly imaginative and so compelling

The book layout is completely different to anything I've read before. Will's characters are the killer, the victims and the police. What makes it so good is that every one of them is written in first person. That's no mean feat as a writer.

I was hooked ... I was reading as fast as I could to find out what happened next ... The story has good pace and there are some excellent twists to the plot which really surprised me ... Recommended to those who like their heroines with attitude and supernatural stories that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

If you like your YA witch stories with a difference then I suggest picking up a copy The Circle... [I'm]excited for the next one.

The most interesting book to come out of Sweden this year, and it’s not another crime thriller!

[I] enjoyed it so much I can thoroughly recommend this quite superb tale, and urge all to go out and order a copy today. I can’t wait for the second installment.

This was definitely a brilliant book, that is well worth taking the time to invest in and read.

—— Serendipity Reviews

Tense and full of dramatic twists and turns, I look forward to seeing what is next for the witches in part two which is called Fire

—— MeMyBooksandI

Witches are the new black. This is the first in a best-selling Swedish trilogy and it's one you will not want to miss out on... An epic holiday read, it's got a fantastical, interwoven narrative that is just what you need to take you all the from the airport departure lounge to a shady spot beside the pool.

This book was one of those that I just couldn’t put down, and despite its size I found it to be a really quick read. The characters were all so different and yet still fit together in their own way, and I was truly shocked by some of the events. I loved the fact that the book wasn’t too teenage despite taking place in a high school, as the characters have genuine problems to overcome with each trying to find their own way to cope with their powers. A great read, I’m really looking forward to book two!
