Play Dead

DI Kim Stone and her team of DS Bryant, DC Stacey and DC Dawson have been sent to Westerly, a body farm to learn about the process of decomposition.  Stone surprises everyone when she discovers an unknown body with one of the planned bodies.  Within a short time they have identified the young woman who had been reported missing.

Stone is reading up on a cold case, which her nemesis, reporter Tracy Frost had suggested that she have a look at, when she receives a call informing her that there is another unknown body at the body farm; only this one is still alive.  Why is the killer leaving the bodies there?

The victim remains in a coma, whether she will come out of it the attending doctor is unsure.  Fortunately, she is soon identified, but Stone is no further ahead.  Then another surprise is handed to Stone in the form of another body.  In this case it is buried.

How many more surprises does author Angela Marsons have in this thriller?  The answer is plenty!  Well written and fast paced, I found it difficult to put this novel down.  A thoroughly enjoyable read.
