What to expect
'This is going to be as big as Jo Nesbo' Judy Finnigan
'What a great premise!' Jeffery Deaver, New York Times bestselling author of The Skin Collector and Solitude Creek
Eeny Meeny is the rocket-paced serial-killer thriller debut from M. J. Arlidge. Eeny Meeny was a Richard and Judy Book Club Summer 2014 pick.
********
The girl emerged from the woods, barely alive. Her story was beyond belief. But it was true. Every dreadful word of it.
Days later, another desperate escapee is found - and a pattern is emerging. Pairs of victims are being abducted, imprisoned then faced with a terrible choice: kill or be killed.
Would you rather lose your life or lose your mind?
Detective Inspector Helen Grace has faced down her own demons on her rise to the top. As she leads the investigation to hunt down this unseen monster, she learns that it may be the survivors - living calling cards - who hold the key to the case.
And unless she succeeds, more innocents will die . . .
Introducing M. J. Arlidge's Detective Inspector Helen Grace, Eeny Meeny is an electrifying début, with the nerve-shredding intensity of Saw and Along Came a Spider. Fans of James Patterson and Mo Hayder should pay attention.

Expertly pulled off. It has a devious premise. DI Helen Grace is fiendishly awesome. It's scary as all hell. And it has a full cast of realistically drawn, interesting characters that make the thing read like a bullet

4⭐️= Good (4.5)
This is the first in the Helen Grace series, and what a start! Action packed with twists and turns. A serial killer is on the loose. Will Helen and her team catch him before another victim is forced to do something that they will regret forever?
There are subtle twists and turns in this one and I admit, I changed my mind a few times as to who the perpetrator was. Everyone is not what they appear to be.
I’m looking forward to #2 already!😁Julie7 2026-05-27
