About GUTTED a gripping crime thriller full of twists (Detective Tracy Collier)

MEET DI TRACY COLLIER. SHE TOLD HERSELF THE PAST DIDN’T MATTER. SHE WAS WRONG . . . Detective Inspector Tracy Collier stares at the men in her team. Four blokes, four different personalities, four different ways of caring for her. Tracy will never get used to people caring for her. She didn’t have this luxury when she was a kid, and now she has a hard outer shell and heart to match. Then the call comes in. Tracy grabs DS Damon Hanks, her boyfriend and colleague, and heads to the outskirts of the city. ‘You may well groan, Damon, but you haven’t attended a fresh body in a while. I can’t keep giving you special treatment. You puke, you puke, and that’s the end of it.’ Tracy steps inside the dilapidated barn with a queasy-looking Damon to see what the killer has left for her this time. She takes a deep breath. Stares straight ahead at the victim. Blimey, it was similar to last week. Guts on display, draping out of a body that had been strung up from one of four rafters still somehow firmly in place. It’s the third body they’ve found gutted in a matter of weeks — and it won’t be the last . . . This utterly gripping crime thriller is perfect for fans of Martina Cole, J.D. Kirk, Ian Rankin, Charlie Gallagher, Steve Parker and J.M. Dalgliesh. Please note this is a revised edition of All Those Lies. READERS LOVE GUTTED: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘A fresh take on the crime genre. It’s gritty and dark, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys books by the likes of Martina Cole and Ian Rankin.’ Charlotte H. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘A great series opener which really did hit the ground running.’ Ashrae ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘I love a good stonking crime read with a multi-dimensional female lead who is far from perfect . . . Enter Tracy Collier.’ Tracey M. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘The shocks just keep on coming! An absolutely gripping page turner.’ Livia S. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘I have to say this is one of the best books, if not the best book I’ve ever read. Phenomenal read!’ Mystery Reader ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Emmy Ellis never fails to hit it out of the park. After reading the DI Bethany Smith series, I had to read the DI Tracy Collier one and I’m so glad I started it.’ Faith H. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘The ending is one of the best I have read in a long time. A gripping book and one I would highly recommend.’ Dee G. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Tracy Collier is a complex character with a heart-breaking past. So well written. A definite five stars from me.’ Kerry W. THE DETECTIVE When you first meet Detective Inspector Tracy Collier, she can come across as heartless. But don’t hold it against her. Her abusive upbringing and gruesome job has hardened her over the years and given her a tough outer shell — and heart. She has a fiery temper to match her red hair, but she tries to channel her anger into getting justice for people — something she never had when growing up. Despite her boyfriend DS Damon Hanks’s attempts to encourage her to heal herself, Tracy is reluctant to face her past in order to move on. But her hand will be forced eventually . . .
