Excellent and well-written police procedural, the first in a new series featuring DCI Craig Gillard out of Surrey Police in Guildford. With intricately constructed complex plotting, full of twists and red herrings, this crime thriller will appeal to any fan of this genre.
The case -- Elizabeth Knight, the wife of respected criminologist Martin Knight, is reported missing by one her oldest best friends. After the police contact her husband with questions, he also disappears. Gillard's team opens an investigation but he harbors a secret: he once dated Liz Knight and has never really gotten over her. Gillard's search for answers will take him to the continent and back again as he attempts to find out what happened and why. NO SPOILERS.
This is fast-paced and kept me glued to the pages as I tried to guess what would happen with all the clues and questions. Though I did figure out where it was going fairly early on, I was intrigued as events unfolded and the conclusion was completely satisfying. I can't wait to start the second book, THE BODY ON THE SHORE!
Thank you to the publisher (Canelo) for this e-book to read and review.
Series book #1
