Book Tour – Perfect Remains By Helen Fields

[amazon_link id=”0008181551″ target=”_blank” ][/amazon_link]’Perfect Remains’ is the latest book by Helen Fields.

On a remote Highland mountain, the body of Elaine Buxton is burning. All that will be left to identify the respected lawyer are her teeth and a fragment of clothing. In the concealed back room of a house in Edinburgh, the real Elaine Buxton screams into the darkness.
Detective Inspector Luc Callanach has barely set foot in his new office when Elaine’s missing persons case is escalated to a murder investigation. Having left behind a promising career at Interpol, he’s eager to prove himself to his new team. But Edinburgh, he discovers, is a long way from Lyon, and Elaine’s killer has covered his tracks with meticulous care. It’s not long before another successful woman is abducted from her doorstep, and Callanach finds himself in a race against the clock. Or so he believes … The real fate of the women will prove more twisted than he could have ever imagined.

‘Perfect Remains’ is the perfect introduction to Detective Inspector Luc Callanach, a handsome and brusque French detective who has been sent from Interpol to the wilds of Scotland to help in a missing persons case. As he battles to find the missing women, he is haunted by his past as well as hassled by his new team who don’t make him feel welcome, aside from Detective Inspector Ava Turner who is battling her own case of newborn babies being left to die in the local park.

Cleverly the story is written from the perspective of the detective investigating the case as well as the killer behind the crimes and this makes for interesting and incredibly gripping reading as both of them try to beat the clock of achieving their goals before being captured.

The killer is an interesting character, he’s clever with an incredibly cruel side and revels in torturing women and it’s at these gruesome moments that he feels at his most superior as he spends his days, inferior to his peers and being alone.

The story flows at a fast and dark pace, with one main story and two smaller sub stories that weave throughout the book before all tying up together neatly in the end.

Gruesome from the very start, this makes book for quite unsettling reading and is most certainly not for the faint hearted, with scenes of torture, I did find myself having to put the book aside at times, when the scenes became too much.

For fans of psychological and investigative thrillers, ‘Perfect Remains’ is a must read, riddled with drama and gore, this nail biting story will have the reader shocked at its many twists and turns.
