I have received a free e-copy of the book Dark Inheritance by P B Lawson to review. You may find out more about the author on his website.
Here is the book blurb.
A serial killer is on the loose and a prominent doctor discovers she is not the person she grew up believing herself to be. These seemingly unrelated characters find themselves drawn together by an ancient lineage.
Detective Doug McKenna is baffled by a series of bizarre killings that have shocked the city of Toronto. All the victims have had their throats brutally slashed, yet there is little blood at any of the crime scenes.
Dark Inheritance questions the concept of good and evil and looks at how an ancient predisposition for evil might be genetically passed from generation to generation.
This story, mainly set in Toronto starts with a few short chapters introducing the mysterious killer and detective Doug McKenna. The killer has murdered a prostitute on a path between 2 houses in a residential area. We are then introduced to journalist Jodie Sommers, who is after a scoop, and the residents, who are now suspects.
We then seem to go off at a tangent, as we meet Doctor Stephanie Salkind who has just discovered via paperwork in an old suitcase that she is adopted. From this point onwards, I realised there were several stories entwining with more main characters yet to be introduced. Plus it includes narrative from the fourteenth century, which blends in surprisingly well.
Lots more twists and turns to come in this tale including further deaths.
Dark Inheritance is available on Amazon, currently priced at £7.93 in paperback and is also available in Kindle format. A gripping thrilling plot.
Plus I’m hosting a rafflecopter competition to giveaway a paperback copy of this book to 1 lucky winner.

This sounds like a book I would really love to read, I love reading really dark and sinister crime books (as long as I’m not home alone!) So this is the book of his I would most like to read.
As for an all time favourite book, I really don’t have one. As a prolific reader I seldom stay loyal to one book or author for very long.
