First Act: A DI Kelly Porter prequel from the million-copy bestselling author (Detective Kelly Porter)

Autor Rachel Lynch
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 sep 2026

Old betrayals, new revenge…

It’s 2008, and London is a frenzy of activity as the capital demolishes and rebuilds ready to host the Olympics.
Detective Kelly Porter has landed her dream job in the Met’s Major Investigation Team – the murder squad.
Human remains are unearthed by a bulldozer. The corpse was laid recently enough to warrant investigation. Kelly does some digging of her own and is led to the Museum of Childhood.
But this is only the start. A fresh murder scene bearing a mutilated corpse soon follows. A legacy of horror and a killer determined to punish their victim awaits. They’re setting the stage for a grand finale.
Kelly’s choices will make her a spectator to the gruesome theatre, or even a puppet under the command of another, unless her instinct for the truth can get her one step ahead.
More than one million readers have become hooked on Rachel Lynch’s Detective Kelly Porter novels. Read the story that started it all.

Recenzii

A stunning prequel to Rachel Lynch's hugely successful Kelly Porter series. With its multi-layered plot and host of wonderful characters, First Act is a riveting read from start to finish. Set in 2008 during a blistering heatwave, Lynch perfectly captures the essence of East London in the build up to the 2012 Olympics. With Kelly Porter, Lynch has already created a compelling central character for her series. In this prequel, we meet a younger version of Kelly who adds a stunning layer to the Kelly readers already know and love. A complex, pacy, thoughtful and deeply moving novel - this is the prequel of all prequels! I loved this book. Is it too much to hope for more Kelly prequels to follow?
A fast-paced, ultra-creepy thriller with a great sense of place and relatable characters - a brilliant read whether you're already a Detective Kelly Porter fan or not. Loved it.
There’s a darkness at the heart of First Act that feeds into our deepest insecurities, turning our fear inwards. I absolutely tore through it. There’s a dark edge and an unsettling realism to this thrilling novel. Rachel Lynch weaves the different elements together so cleverly and I was completely wrong-footed at the end. Such clever writing, brilliantly researched and, like all good nightmares, terrifyingly familiar! Highly recommended.
It’s wonderful to read of the first case of Kelly Porter and be plunged into a fiendish, fast-paced story. I loved it.
A terrific thriller with a kick-ass detective hunting for a twisted killer during a sweltering pre-Olympics London summer. Beautifully written with some genuinely skin-creeping moments
