It's October, it's Halloween and I have created 'HallowFriday', a blog post series till Halloween (that's on a Thursday) with thrillers, horror, and spooky stories.
For this first HallowFriday, I present to you 'Now You See Me', the first book of the Lacy Flint series by Sharon Bolton. I am planning on buying this entire series on paper, but for now, I have it as eBooks.
Back of the book
One night after interviewing a reluctant witness at a London apartment complex, Lacey Flint, a young detective constable, stumbles onto a woman brutally stabbed just moments before in the building’s darkened parking lot. Within twenty-four hours a reporter receives an anonymous letter that points out alarming similarities between the murder and Jack the Ripper’s first murder—a letter that calls out Lacey by name. If it’s real, and they have a killer bent on re-creating London’s bloody past, history shows they have just five days until the next attempt.
No one believes the connections are anything more than a sadistic killer’s game, not even Lacey, whom the killer seems to be taunting specifically. However, as they investigate the details of the case start reminding her more and more of a part of her past she’d rather keep hidden. And the only way to do that is to catch the killer herself.

As you might have seen, my copy is in Dutch, it's still amazingly translated by Anda Witsenburg.
If you haven't read it yet, I would highly recommend reading it, you'll be dragged in this story within minutes and once you've finished the book, you simply start into the next.
Happy Friday. ☾
