The Mind of a Murderer (Dr Olivia White No1) by Michael Wood

This is the first book in a new series by author Michael Wood who also writes the best selling Matilda Drake books.

Dr Olivia Winter is a forensic psychologist whose job is to understand the minds of serial killers. There’s only one monster she can’t understand, her father.
Her father was a notorious and brutal serial killer who brought fear into everyone’s life until he was caught. Olivia aged nine was supposed to be his last victim but somehow she survived.

Now, another serial killer is stalking the streets of London and as the body count rises, the police need Olivia’s help to profile him before he can strike again. But that will mean facing her own demons.

I really enjoy Michael Wood other series so was eagerly anticipating more of the same. What I got was what promises to be another exciting series to add to my never ending list of favourites. This psychological thriller is a real page turner and is a fascinating read, full of excellent characters and plenty of tension. I really enjoyed this read and have already made a note to remind me of the next instalment.

I would like to thank both Netgalley and Harper Collins UK for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
