It starts with the hanging woman in the Maple Valley woods; the woman with no shoes, no car and no name. On paper it’s an obvious case of suicide – but to Officer Dean Matheson, something doesn’t add up.
Then there are the other deaths, deaths that also look like suicides – but are they? The victims are all women living on the fringes of society, addicts and criminals. Who will miss them? Does anyone really care if they die?
Dean Matheson is making it his business to care, even if it means he becomes the target …

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
::..Reviewed for Red's Midnight Readers..::
I was offered an ARC in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. I have given Who Cares If They Die 3 solid stars.
This is the first time I have read anything by this author and the rather intriguing title and blurb compelled me to read this thrilling story.
I did find the book rather slow to begin with and struggled to actually get into story but once the story started to move along and things began to happen I found myself really getting into the story.
I am not one for suspense, so the fact that the killer was unmasked early on appealed to me and kept me turning the pages to find out why the character was doing what they were doing.
Some parts of this story were actually quite funny and had me laughing out loud, which helped to break the tension of this story as Dean gets sucked further and further in to the mystery surrounding Jane Doe's Death.
This is a good read for anybody who likes thrillers.
