Well my Summer logic was if you couldn't go on vacation,
you could at least read about some great ones!
So our first Mystery Monday takes us back across ye olde pond!
Synopsis:
Meet DS Adam Burnt, a troubled man who has his work cut out. While at a crime scene he is informed of another murder. But Burnt is also having problems at home. He suspects his wife is having an affair.
As the clues unfold DS Burnt begins a game of cat and mouse.
What links the two murders to a doctor and a psychiatric hospital?
Trying to juggle his personal life and the job, Burnt must navigate Great Yarmouth and the surrounding areas of the Norfolk Broads, to catch a killer and stop a vicious gang.
Review:
Not only is this the debut book in the DS Adam Burnt series, it is the author's debut book! Sometimes when you read British police procedurals, it almost seems like the main leads are superhuman- you can't quite picture them say having the flu, whining to their spouse, or the like. But not this one. Burnt is a character we all can relate to- while he knows he is a good detective, he wonders still why his wife married him and if she leave him. Then add in a murder that doesn't make sense, and he has some serious clue hunting to set off on. The book is told from different perspectives at times and that may seem like it's slowing the book down, but it is giving the reader more clues, and allowing for a slower set up, to the nail biting ending! This was a good read, and I'm looking forward to the next book in the series!
