Perfect Crime

DI Luc Callanach has been called to the mortuary by DCI Ava Turner to be on hand for a post mortem on a man who had jumped to his death.  However, pathologist Aisla Lambert is ruling out suicide after examining the victim’s hands.

The following day, the victim is identified as a man who had earlier attempted suicide.  Callanach and DS Tripp meet with the man who had talked him down previously.

Later Turner calls Callanach into her office about another suspicious death.  However, in this instance Callanach himself is a potential suspect because he had visited the victim just before his death.  A few hours later, when Turner is going to speak to Callanach as a follow up, they are called out to another suspicious death; a woman who has been dead upwards of three weeks.

When another death is discovered, this time a male, Aisla Lambert indicates that the ties used on him are the same as those used on the woman, and have the same batch number on them.

Then suddenly Callanach and Turner’s relationship takes a bad turn.  A man associated with the victim he had visited has now been murdered.  Turner has no option left, but to suspend Callanach.

How many more people are going to die before Turner’s team can catch this serial killer?  Can she and Callanach get their relationship back on track or is it best to be done with each other?  Author Helen Fields has the answers awaiting the reader.  This is a thriller that is hard to put down, and a thoroughly enjoyable read.
