From France to Scotland for our second Monday Mystery!
Synopsis:
Inside a beautiful Victorian family home in Glasgow, a mother and her young son are found brutally murdered. DI Costello is furious and knows exactly who did it: George Haggerty, the husband and father. The only problem is that Haggerty has a cast-iron alibi – the police themselves caught him speeding at the time of the murders. But Costello can’t let it go. Determined to expose Haggerty as a ruthless killer, she’s gone solo.
DCI Colin Anderson has no time to ponder his partner of twenty years going rogue, as his own cases are piling up. But Costello’s absence becomes increasingly worrying. Has she completely disappeared following the tracks of a dangerous man?
Review:
I literally read this book in ONE sitting (which probably isn't as hard for most people anymore, with the stay at home order and all...). I love how this book delves into issues plaguing both Anderson and Costello, making them feel very real ad honest characters. Costello knows her instinct is right, but up against solid evidence, she has to prove to everyone she is right. But as more oddities arise, even Anderson begins to wonder if the police are being played. A well done cat and mouse game, this roller coaster read will asking when the next book in the series is (this is book 10), and wanting to go back and read the previous 9 in the series!
