Netta Newbound has written a powerful story to introduce DI Stanley in Behind Shadows: A Psychological Mystery Thriller (Adam Stanley Series Book 1). Amanda Flynn’s life is in chaos. Her husband cheats on her, deserts her for his mistress, and takes their children with him. Her past comes back to haunt her when her paedophile father is released early; he went to prison vowing revenge on the daughter who testified against him. Is he the stalker in the shadows? Murdered bodies are discovered one after another and Amanda, who is diagnosed with Multiple Personality Disorder, has connections with them all and no alibi. Abandoned, scared, and doubting her own sanity, Amanda turns to DI Adam Stanley, but is he right to believe in her innocence or is Amanda a serial murderess?
Behind Shadows: A Psychological Mystery Thriller is the first of Netta Newbound’s novels featuring Detective Inspector Adam Stanley and it looks set to win thousands of fans for the series. Lonely after the death of his wife, Adam is vulnerable and so is Amanda. Her story twists and turns. I “guessed the end” so many times, wrongly; meticulously researched, it reveals the terrible cost to the victims of paedophiles, and the depraved lengths to which others will go to cover up the crime, for love or to hide their own perversions. Netta Newbound’s Behind Shadows is a horrific thriller that hooks readers in the first paragraph and plays them like fish on a line: an intense, brilliant, five star must-read.
