Dead on Demand

Edwin Murphy has been served divorce papers by his wife Eleanor, and then to top it off, he is fired from his position as editor of "The Impartial".  He is angered by it all, so he takes out an ad on the internet asking for someone to get rid of a package.

Although the system he used to get an assassin used a proxy, the young woman who responded also lived in London.  He offers to solve her problem if she solved his.  He wanted the job done in a week while he was in Vancouver for a job interview.  When he returns to London, a message awaits him with the information as to whom he was to snuff.

DCI David Morton has been assigned the case of an unidentified dead woman found in a park.  Shortly afterwards a missing woman is reported, one Eleanor Murphy.  Morton is suspicious of Murphy from the get go.

Murphy needs to eliminate the woman who killed his wife, just in case she might be able to identify him.  Just as a piece of glass shatters outward from the point of impact, Murphy's initial crime imitates that, and DCI Morton begins to put the pieces together.

One thing about dual authors is that you can tell when a new one has taken over the story line.  Thus it is with authors Sean and Daniel Campbell.  I also question some of the police procedures that they used in this murder mystery.  Also, numerous errors occur throughout, such as indicating that one killer had killed two people, when in fact he had killed three before killing a fourth.  A fair read.
