Five Stars. Hopefully the first of many
A man murdered outside his shop in Belfast, A WPC drowned and possibly raped found in the River Bann.
Two cases with apparently no links in this gripping first case for DCI Marc Craig. When the murderer strikes closer to home, with an attempt on a fellow police officer it becomes a race to find the killer before more bodies turn up.
This first novel by former police forensic medical examiner Catriona King is a tightly written, fast paced novel that reveals just enough along the way to keep you guessing until the unexpected reveal.
The characters of Marc Craig and his team, both police and civilian, are believable and have a depth to them that other authors don't always capture. Each character comes across as an individual, each with something different to bring to the team. I am hoping there will be many more stories to follow this one as the tale leaves us with unfinished business with some team members.
As for the murderer - as the story unfolds and you get to the reasons behind the crimes committed, you may get to thinking "what would I do under the same circumstances" and you may be surprised at the answer you come up with.
As a novel - a fantastic achievement. As a first novel - even more so. There is a new star on the scene and a brightly shining one at that.
Belfast needs its' own detective - and in DCI Marc Craig it now has one
