Getting Mystery Monday off to a fun start with this new book!
Synopsis:
A serial killer is at large. One item ties the victims together: in each case, their bra has been removed. Can DCI Harry Brock and DS Dave Pool crack a disturbing case?
On a hot Tuesday morning in June, Detective Chef Inspector Harry Brock is called to Richmond Park in south-west London, where the body of a young woman has been found, strangled and half-naked, in the Isabella Plantation. The killer fled the scene with nothing - except the victim's bra.
The discovery of further bodies, all women in their twenties, and all with missing bras, suggests a serial killer is at loose. With the help of Detective Superintendent Dave Poole and the rest of his team, it's not long before Harry uncovers a dark web of lies, betrayal, desire and deceit. But can he break the deadlock to catch a determined killer?

Review:
This was the first book in the Brock and Pool series I had read, and I will definitely go back and read the rest of the previous 15 (!!) books in the series. The book takes what appears to be a traditional Britich police procedural and adds some crazy twists, that rival any psychological thriller! What seems to be a simple murder ends up being anything but. As one clue after another unravels and people are not who they are supposed to be, and then involved parties start disappearing. It takes everything
