Alex MacLean (2)

distinctive voice in a crowded field

Excellent police procedural with a cast of interesting characters.

Loved the flashback sections and also the fact that it started as a why-did-it before developing into the more normal whodunnit.

Plenty of character background and a plot that moves along at a nice pace allowing the reader to guess and second guess themselves silly.

I’m looking forward to reading the next instalment of the life Allan Stanton

Halifax Detective Allan Stanton is assigned a new case. A security officer has been found dead, but there also seems to be a second crime scene in the same vicinity. But this is only the start, and what is happening to the body parts and why.
Although we know the name of the killer this does not distract from an enjoyable well-written mystery.

On the anniversary of the death of Mary Driscow, another body is found in similar circumstances. Detective Audra Price joins Stanton in the search for the killer but during their investigation the discovery of similar unsolved crimes Canada wide is disturbing.
Another interesting and well-written book in this series/trilogy.
