"One of the top crime thriller series out there! If you like your crime thrillers with a twist of psychological suspense and a smattering of procedure and a hint of hostility and grudges, then Will to Live is one for you! - Chapter in my Life Reputation is everything. When a packed commuter train runs over a body on a stretch of track known to locals as 'Suicide Mile', it soon transpires that the man was a victim of a calculated murder. As the investigation evolves and a pattern of murders is uncovered, Detective Sergeant Kay Hunter realises the railway's recent reputation may be the work of a brutal serial killer. With a backlog of cold cases to investigate and attempting to uncover who is behind a professional vendetta against her, Kay must keep one step ahead of both the killer and her own adversaries. When a second murder takes place within a week of the first, she realises the killer's timetable has changed, and she's running out of time to stop him... Will to Live is the second book in a new crime thriller series featuring Kay Hunter – a detective with a hidden past and an uncertain future... What readers are saying about Will to Live: "Will to Live is a race against time. It is fast and furious with no indication given as to who, what and how until you turn the last few pages. I mentioned in my previous review of Scared To Death that this series would transfer very well to film or TV and I still believe that to be the case. Kay Hunter is the perfect protagonist. She is tough. She is fair. She has a heart." - Swirl & Thread "I really, really love this series! I absolutely love Kay Hunter! She has just the right mix of professionalism and dedication but with a vulnerability that draws you to her." - My Chestnut Reading Tree "Starts with a bang and then the tension gathers momentum!" - Bibliophile Book Club

Biography/History:
Rachel Amphlett is an USA Today bestselling author, best known for her fast-paced crime and thriller novels. Her debut thriller, White Gold, was released in July 2011 and features British secret agent Dan Taylor. The series established Rachel as an author to watch and spurned three more novels before Rachel turned her attention to a new character, Detective Kay Hunter. The Kay Hunter crime thrillers are based in Maidstone, Kent and feature a tight-knit team of detectives. Praised by experts for their attention to detail, the books are also much loved by readers for their page-turning plots and devious twists with comparisons to TV shows NCIS and Law & Order: Criminal Intent. The first book, Scared to Death was published in 2016 and won praise from Robert Bryndza (The Girl in the Ice, Shadow Sands) and Angela Marsons (Silent Scream, Deadly Cry). More recently, Rachel created a new crime thriller series based around the central character Mark Turpin, an Oxfordshire-based detective. The first book, None the Wiser, received critical acclaim from Adrian McKinty (The Chain) and Jo Spain (With Our Blessing, The Confession), with the follow-up book, Her Final Hour being praised by the creator of the DCI Banks series, Peter Robinson. In addition to her detective stories, Rachel also writes the English Assassins series featuring female assassin Eva Delacourt, and a number of standalone crime thrillers, psychological thrillers and conspiracy thrillers. A keen traveller, Rachel holds both British and Australian citizenship. You can find out more about Rachel and her books at rachelamphlett.com
