The Siren

Alison Bruce's sequel to "Cambridge Blue" is another page turner.

Two young in Cambridge have a secret which will lead to the death of one of them.  When the news of the death of a young man in Spain is broadcast they are in panic mode.  That evening one of their houses goes up in flames and she dies within. 

DC Goodhew happens upon the fire and is almost knocked to the ground by the young man who calls in the fire.  While at the fire he meets the other young woman who is in a panic because her young son was with the other woman.  When his body is not found in the remains of the house, and the dead woman's husband turns up missing, the Cambridge police realise they have a kidnapping and murder on their hands.

Now DC Goodhew, with the help of a new, and the not altogether co-operative WPC, Sue Gully, need to work together to unravel several crimes knotted together.

Lives are endangered and threatened as the story draws to its climax.  A very good read and I am looking forward to the next installment.
