Summary
Who are the Special Girls? Are they victims or 'asking for it'? A case of historical child sex abuse by a famous doctor is linked to the murder of his young and popular colleague at a summer camp deep in the Essex woods.
A young psychiatric registrar is found beaten to death in the woods close to a summer camp for young patients suffering from eating disorders. It is run by the charismatic, world-renowned Professor Ned Chesham. DI Grace Fisher investigates, but it is not long before she is pulled from the case - to head up a Metropolitan Police review into a cold case involving Chesham himself.
Nearly 20 years ago, one of Chesham's patients made allegations that he sexually assaulted her. The investigation at the time found no conclusive proof, but Grace soon discovers another victim and a witness whose account never reached the police. Does this mean the original investigation was bungled? Scotland Yard would certainly like her to conclude otherwise. As Grace uncovers the lies that led to the young doctor's murder, she discovers the full extent of the damage done to Chesham's 'special girls' - and the danger they are still in.

Love this series
Everything about this audiobook is what I live for,. The narrator brings the story to life and holds my attention to the very last.
The stories are well developed, fast paced and interesting. The characters well drawn.
Definitely will look for more in the series.

Brilliant plotting and character development
This series goes from strength to strength. I like the way the central character is developing and this story works as a stand-alone. It centres on sexual abuse of teenage girls. A sensitive issue handled with care. The plot is complex and horribly unsettling as there’s more than a hint of truth to much of the background characters. An excellent police procedural and psychological murder mystery. Great narration and highly recommended.

The business
The author really captures the essence of the abuser and the ease that he can manipulate and mislead people who trust him.
Frighteningly real and a parents worst nightmare.

Enjoyable audio book.
So Ivo, the journalist was Ee-voh in book 1, Eye-voh in book 2 and is now back to Ee-voh in book 3. A bit of consistency would be great. That's the only thing that I didn't like about this book.

Best so far...
I really enjoyed previous Grace Fisher encounters and this was the best yet, her character is really developing and I can imagine where future books will take her; combined with the intriguing relationship with Evo a very insightful storyline and eloquent narration, it's an all round great choice.

Can't wait for more from DI Grace Fisher
Thought at the start of this book 3 in the series that maybe I wasn't going to enjoy this book so much due to the storyline but how wrong was I! Another brilliant story brilliantly narrated with a twisted & shocking end..... Can't wait to listen to book 4. Melody Grove IS Grace Fisher narrated/acted SO well.
