Little Boy Blue is the fifth book in the Helen Grace series and is a dark tense read .Helen tries to keep her personal and professional life separate but when her friend is killed in a popular S&M club called the Torture room all her secrets are in real danger of being exposed.Trying to hide this from her team is taking a toll on Helen and when another member of the club with connection to Helen is found dead she knows the killer is sending her a private deadly message which might end up destroying her life and career.

This book is a tense fast paced gritty thriller with short chapters making it a quick read. I would definitely recommend reading this series in order as there is some reference to a back story. My only complain about this book is that it ends in a major cliffhanger but I cannot wait to start the next one in the series.

I would like to thank Berkley Publishing Group & NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest and fair review.

I didn't finish reading this book. It's a quick, easy read, but it's boring. I gave up around page 160. The subject is disturbing and eyes rolling.

In this DI Helen Grace a friend of hers ends up dead and she is rattled. As the bodies keep appearing, each with a connection to her, Helen gets more and more nervous. Someone is trying to send her a message but she can't figure out who. Nerves are stretched thin, tensions are high, and Grace falls under suspicion for the murders. There's two ways this can end and she's hoping it will be in her favor.

I love this series by Arlidge. His continued development of DI Grace and the secondary characters is fantastic. His storylines are terrifying - I really hope they aren't based on real cases.

Nothing like an ending you don't want to happen to make you ready to dive into the next book.

This was such a good entry in this series! So creepy and yet engaging. It just doesn't stop with its action, pacing, and use of clues and deductions! Easily one of the best, if not the best in the series so far.

Another great Helen Grace novel. The ending was more predictable than the others (at least as it went on) but I was still super into it. And I cannot wait for the next one!
