DI Joe Plantagenet has had a rude start to his morning. A young woman
has been murdered in his city. His boss, DCI Emily Thwaite, also is
concerned about a child killer who has escaped custody. However, their
victim turns out to be someone other than they thought.
DS Sunny Porter is able to shine a new light on the case when he reads
of a similar case from over forty years earlier in a book his son had
given him for his birthday. Later DC Jenny Ripon tells him of a missing
girl, and reminds him that nothing has been heard of another missing
girl who had disappeared earlier. Are their disappearances related to
the killing?
Plantagenet is shocked when another young woman is killed in the same
manner near the scene of first one. Do they have another serial killer
on their hands? And if so, when will he strike again?
Author Kate Ellis has drawn several related threads together to weave a
very good thriller in “Playing With Bones”. A very good read.
