Blood Money

A woman has been assaulted in her own home and robbed of her valuables.  DS Bev Morriss, and DC Mac Tyler are looking into the incident; it is not the first in the area. Also, the frequency is increasing as is the violence involved in the attacks.  The team is concerned that the next one could be a murder inquiry.

It isn't long before there is a murder; of a man.  He had come home unexpectedly and was there to protect his wife when the intruder entered.  A day later, one of the previous victims commits suicide.  Superintendent Byford attributes this death to the killer, too.

Morriss is now the target of someone who has set out to upset her.  Her car has been damaged, a heart has been left on her doorstep and someone has been inside her house.  Just after this, the attacker of women steps it up a notch, brutalising another woman so badly that she dies.

Late in the investigation Morriss and Tyler receive information that surprises them and puts a whole new light on the investigation. Then comes the news that links the victims together.  Now, they just need to bring in the culprit, but that isn't going to be easy.

Once again Maureen Carter has written an excellent murder mystery, a read you won't want to put down.
