DS Alice Rice has just made it through a disciplinary hearing and been
cleared of all charges. Now, maybe she get back to routine. The
following morning, she and DI Manson are called out to investigate a
body. It appears that the woman may have been beaten and raped.
That night she is informed by Manson that her boyfriend has been killed
by a hit and run driver. As hard as it is to accept his death, Rice
gets back to work soon after and begins working on the investigation of
the murdered woman. Rice and DC Cairns discover that the victim once
worked as a nursing sister. When tragedy struck her life went downhill.
Sometime later, Rice gets strange, threatening phone calls in the middle
of the night. Following that, while visiting her lover's studio, a
brick is thrown through a window getting glass shards in Rice's face.
It is at this time that another body is found. This time it is a male
and he is completely naked. It doesn't take long to discover that he is
a clergyman.
Author Gillian Galbraith has written an interesting police story, that
leaves the reader wondering, yet surprised at the twists the author
provides at the end. A good, quick read.
