Synopsis

On the morning after his thirtieth wedding anniversary Stewart Harding is found dead. He was an arrogant and thoroughly unpleasant man and there is no shortage of suspects, but all of them have firm alibis. In any case, everything points towards it being an opportunistic killing linked to a robbery. 

Newly promoted DI Mark Webber is assigned as the SIO with Gillian Marsh overseeing the investigation. However, when her mother dies, she takes leave of absence and lets Webber continue on his own. 

Webber is making good progress until his colleague – and secret lover – DC Erin Macfadyen disappears without trace. Webber’s world falls apart. 

DCI Marsh cuts her bereavement leave short to take over the investigation into Stewart Harding’s death and to track down her missing officer. 

There is no doubt that she will find Harding’s killer, but will she find Erin and are the two cases connected?

My Review

For all those fans of the previous D I Gillian Marsh books number 6 in the series won't disappoint. In fact for the first time in all of the books I actually started to warm towards this, at times, very inhuman detective,by the time I got to the end.

As with all the other books the narrative and description draws you into the story and has you looking at all the different suspects as though you were part of the investigating team; looking at the information and wondering who was telling the truth and who was lying to cover their own back !

I personally think the latter part of the book could have been spent on the disappearance of DC Erin Macfadyen, but that is my personal preference and it does not detract from what is , yet again, another great instalment in the series from, in my opinion, a very accomplished murder mystery writer.

The Delegate by Ali Carter

The Delegate by Ali Carter   What a tangled web she weaved…   The Delegate by Ali Carter was  published on 29th November 2022 by Matador. My thanks to the author and publisher who sent me a copy and Random Book Tours for inviting me to take part on the tour.      Synopsis Charlotte… Having been sprung by Mafia family the Zandini’s on a day release the previous year, and managing to ‘despatch’ one of their enemies in New York (plus a few extras), ex killer G.P> Charlotte Peterson was now securely back inside Rampton high Security Hospital. However, her work was unfinished and a second escape quite out of the question. It was why she had the need of a delegate. A killer to complete a very important job…someone she’d control. Annie… She had found the perfect person in Annie. A woman who felt cheated. A woman who was mentally and emotionally scarred in exactly the same way Charlotte had been throughout her own life. Annie was fully ripe for manipulation in t...

 Tristan /Yseulte  by Harry Bonelle Tristan/ Yseult by Harry Bonelle  was published on 31st january 2024 by Unicorn. My thanks to the author and publisher for sending me a copy to review and to Random Things Tours  for inviting me to take part on the tour. Synopsis Tristan/Yseult is a narrative poem about the yearning for oneness in a world split into fragments. A duel on an empty island sets the course for one of the greatest romances ever told. As the lovers of legend meet, something new is born, and something eternal is revealed. Their names will forever be spoken as one. This modern retelling of Tristan and Yseult sheds a stark light on the beauty of the Celtic tale. “Harry Bonelle’s new version taps into the dark and furious energy of the old saga, surging and juddering with life. Bonelle’s actor’s training has encouraged him to liberate the performance piece that its original author must have intended. Thrilling on the page, but even more so spoken loud....

  Danger With Lashings Of Caviar  by Liz Hinds Danger With Lashings Of Caviar was published on 20th March 2024. My thanks to the author for sending me a copy to review and to Random Things Tours for inviting me to take part on the tour. Synopsis When Tabby wakes up in a rubbish skip - again - she decides the time has come for action. The bad guys might have got away with it so far but it's time to turn the tables. With the help of her mum, a disgraced policeman, a farting dog, and two homeless friends Tabby is determined to bring the handsome criminal millionaire to justice. And she was only supposed to be making a few sandwiches. My Review This is the first book in the Tabitha's Table mystery series and if this first book is anything to go by it should prove to be a tongue in cheek cosy mystery set of books that will have you laughing out loud. At times you will be asking yourself "Really" whilst at other times you will be taking in the light hearted way that ...
