DI Clare Mackay and her team out of St. Andrews are hunting a cold, systematic serial killer. Men are being run over and left to die. Why are these particular men being targeted and who is murdering them in such a premeditated way? NO SPOILERS
Clare has recently taken a position as the most senior officer stationed in St. Andrews after a shooting incident in Glasgow resulted in her being emotionally and professionally damaged. She's left behind her lovely home, her job, and her boyfriend to take up the job in the small seaside town known for being the home of golf. She and her partner, DS Chris West, track down every lead in this excellent police procedural. Clare is methodical and very determined to solve this case and perhaps even put down roots in this community.
This was an excellent introduction to a new series featuring DI Clare Mackay and I can't wait for book #2 in order to get to know Clare, her team, and the area surrounding St. Andrews better. I loved the description of the setting and the writing style. Clare is slowing feeling her way into her new life and, though she is lonely and unsettled, I think she'll come around. The storyline was good and kept me so absorbed that I read this in a single sitting. Although I've read a ton of British crime fiction, not that many novels are set in Scotland so this was an interesting change of locale.
Thank you to NetGalley and Canelo for this e-book ARC to read, review and recommend.
This is the first book in a new series and I plan to read them all, in order!
Genre - police procedural, crime fiction, female detective
