'''Warning: this review contains a spoiler for [[Evil Games (D I Kim Stone) by Angela Marsons|an earlier book in the series]]'''
Initially it looked like a robbery gone wrong, or possibly a carjack, only the car was still there and so was the expensive watch and the jewellry. Her wallet hadn't been taken either, but she'd been killed by a single, precise stab to the heart. There was no sign of anger: in fact there seemed to be a complete lack emotion. There and there was nothing to suggest that the victim had attracted the violence - she was a caring mother and dedicated social worker. D I Kim Stone wasn't alone in thinking that something didn't add up. Then a local drug addict was found with an identical wound. There's nothing to link the two cases other than the wounds and Stone's instincts.
Stone's instincts ''are'' heightened too: she's had a letter from her nemesis, Dr Alex Thorne, whom Kim put behind bars in [[Evil Games (D I Kim Stone) by Angela Marsons|Evil Games]]. Thorne has appealed against her conviction and Kim Stone is one of the two people she needs ''not'' to give evidence at the appeal hearing. She messed with Stone's mind before and this time she's using Stone's hated mother to get into her head again. If you haven't already read ''Evil Games'' reading ''Blood Lines'' could take away a ''little'' of the pleasure, although - in fairness we know who the perpetrator is right from the beginning of ''Evil Games''.
