Dim detectives and the best is killed.
Excellent book. I never thought the detectives would actually find the entire truth out with the few clues and people to question. Very imaginative with good characters. Makes you want to read more English mysteries.
OMG! This could be a reality…kept me up at night!
This was a great fast read. I did not want to put it down. The London location and dialect was a change up but fairly easy to follow.
I could not put it down! Excellent read!
Interesting plot and moved right along. Entertaining.
A new and timely twist to the murder mystery genre. One that will have you looking for another book by that author.
This one would get more than five stars – an excellent read.
Kinda hard to keep all persons involved at first. Got better as you get more into the book
This is a British police procedural that leads you on a gripping journey of discovery. The crime that we ferret out is original and makes for a great mystery read. Enjoy!
A few twists.
Good detective story,held my interest and wasentertaining!
Surprisingly good mystery by authors I’d never known. Really liked the determination of the detective and the dialogue. Looking for more books by these two.
Good Characters and dialogue. Good plot twists. I enjoyed the book, but it took a while to develop. I would like to have had more character development on some of the supporting characters.
Good read
this is an enjoyable read, with quite a few twists along the way, it is not too taxing but easily passes the time
