A review by hayleysellick
The Tattoo Thief by Alison Belsham

4.0

I was gifted this book by a friend and didn’t have any idea what I was getting into, but ooooh I enjoyed it! It’s a dark crime story, which is rather gruesome at parts, told from the point of view of four characters: DI Francis Sullivan, a young DI on his first case; Rory, his unwilling deputy; Marni Mullins, a local tattoo artist; and the killer at the centre of everything. I haven’t read a crime book in absolutely ages so this was a real treat! I was on the edge of my seat as they were closing in on the killer. The story was original and I loved the interaction between the characters. I finished this a couple of days ago and I’m still thinking about it, pretty sure I want to reread it already. Personally I felt there were a few loose ends that could have been tied up but I loved the story and thoroughly enjoyed this book!
