Dying in the Dark

A woman has been brutally murdered along the towpath in Whitebridge on an autumn evening.  Chief Inspector Charlie Woodend and his team of DS Monica Paniatowski and DI Bob Rutter have commenced the investigation .  The following morning the woman is identified when she doesn't show up for work.

Rutter and his wife, Maria, have been having marriage difficulties recently, and that evening Maria has asked Charlie to come and chat.  Unfortunately when he arrives, the house explodes.  Maria is killed and Bob has been taken in for questioning.  As much as Charlie wants to prove Bob innocent, he is not going to be allowed to.  But, when was the last time Charlie did as he was told?

Monika discovers a diary in the flat of the first victim.  A clue jumps out at her, which put together with something that Charlie discovers points to a connection between the two victims.  How will they gather enough evidence to prove Bob innocent?  Then their theory seems to have been tossed out the window.  Author Sally Spencer has a huge surprise in store for the reader.  This was a book I couldn't put down, reading it from cover to cover non stop.
