Summary

Hard live. Hard Lessons. It's murder on the streets. When a prostitute's body is found lifeless, mutilated and brutally raped, DCI Annie Carr has never seen anything like it and never wants to again. Kate Burrows, retired DCI now consultant, has plenty of experience when it comes to murder - after all she caught the Grantley Ripper and broke the biggest pedophile ring in the South East. She is determined to help put the killer behind bars.

But whoever it is won't be easily caught. And when another girl's body is found, even more horrifically disfigured than the last, it's clear the killer is just warming up... In a ruthless world where everyone's out for themselves, Annie and Kate must dig deep if they hope to catch a callous serial killer who knows no limits and makes no mistakes. For some, prostitution is seriously big business. But how many people will pay the ultimate price? Utterly compelling, Hard Girls is a gripping and disturbing thriller that will have you hooked until the very last page.

Struggled but persevered

Not one of my favourites I'm afraid. I didn't like Kate's attitude & I guessed who the killer was early on. Annie Aldington was as ever a superb narrator!

What a fantastic series

All the books brilliantly written .. if you are easily offended by a lot of unpleasant language , then not for you .. But you have to realise , so much of this series has been with the ‘ gangs and convicts ‘ so the language used in the boom is the type they wound of been saying .
Narration. Was AMAZING and definitely have the boobs that realistic feel .. Will miss these characters .. x
