A vigilante killer DS Kathleen Doyle has been after has just been arrested, however as
he is being taken to the lockup he dies. Could he have taken
something? Her husband, DCI Acton doesn’t want her bothered with the
case due to her pregnancy. Meanwhile, her good friend DI Williams wants
her help to investigate a possibly corrupt DCI.
The murder of a Scene of Crime Photographer makes Doyle ask Acton to
assign her to the case. Fortunately for her, he acquiesces. Doyle is
sure that the victim’s next door neighbour is lying about something.
Doyle is stunned when an elderly male neighbour dies the day following
the start of her investigation. Also, another neighbour Doyle had
interviewed turns out to be involved in another case that Acton is
investigating. What is going on?
Doyle discovers photos that the deceased photographer had taken, which
seem to indicate that other dead people really aren’t dead. And, during
an interview, it is revealed to Acton that there is a potential threat
to his rural home. Then an attempt is made on Doyle’s life in a
church. Fortunately she was wearing a Kevlar vest.
Things go sideways then, and author Anne Cleeland has several twists to put into play. A fast paced, thoroughly enjoyable read.
