Can DI Clare Mackay unravel a dead man’s secrets?
An utterly gripping addition to the bestselling crime series by much-loved Scottish author, Marion Todd.
DI Clare Mackay is on the case. She soon learns that Harry was not the upstanding man he seemed to be. Finding the killer should be easy.
Then the wife of one of Harry’s colleagues is discovered dead in her car, and Clare realises there is something more sinister at play…
Can she find out who’s behind the murders before they turn their attention to her?
Perfect for fans of Alex Gray, Caro Ramsay and the Karen Pirie series.
Review:
This is book 7 in the series, and if you haven't read anyone of the prior books, it is easy to get into this on, as much is not alluded to from previous cases, so it's close to being a stand alone.It's an interesting case, where one murder suddenly seems to be linked to another, but there isn't any direct connection. While the team and Clare have their instincts, how can they prove their case, and keep the people involved still alive from an unknown killer? It's a quick read, and will definitely get you wanting to read the previous books.
