DI Munro is pulled out of retirement when a body of a female is discovered in the remote Daff Glen. He takes with him DS Charlotte West to help in the investigation.
An entertaining well-written crime story, helped by a cast of well-rounded likeable characters.
A good addition to the series. ( )

Meet DS Charlotte West who is new to the force and feels she has a lot to prove to the misogynists in South London. Asking for DI Munro’s help in finding a missing person could be chancy because he doesn’t tolerate fools easily, and he can see that DS West has some issues (drink, tardiness) to be settled. Before long a body is found and they are searching for a serial killer.

I was looking for a book set in Scotland but instead ended up in South London. (For those who are interested the rest of the series takes place in Scotland). It is a police procedural. But it is relationships, intuition and logical thinking, too. And then the characters just grabbed me and now I want to read more. ( )
