It is 1974 and DCI Monika Paniatowski has a missing persons case on her
hands. A thirteen year old girl has gone missing after leaving a
wedding party early. She and her team are prepared for a negative
result in finding the girl. It is the evening afterwards that the body
is discovered. It appears that the girl has been strangled.
Meantime Chief Constable George Baxter is at a prison investigating the
death of a prisoner who has committed suicide. The victim was in for
sexual assault on a child. However, when he finds out that Monika has
been assigned the case he feels it isn't right for her, because her own
daughter had gone missing only s couple of months earlier. He gives her
72 hours to solve the case, or he would be handing it on to another
DCI.
Paniatowski gets her man, or does she? That same evening there is
another murder in the same place. Obviously the team has to rework
their investigation. It is only through a new fangled invention in the
Woolworth's store that they discover the murderer. Author Sally Spencer
has once again provided the reader with an intriguing murder mystery.
A good, quick read.
