Having been a fan of the television series, I was interested in reading this, the first novel about Halifax, written by the screen writer, Roger Simpson. Would it have the same intensity and depth of the series…
It’s certainly not disappointing .. though with incredibly cruel murders. Were they all from the same perpetrator? Why impale the art collector on one of his collections? Also how could one of the main suspects still have the love of a gentle woman? Have they got the wrong man?
A pattern seems to be forming, but Jane Halifax can’t quite determine a link nor a reason. Is this psychopath trying to impress her or even Inspector Eric Ringer, with whom she has a history.
It’s so hard to accept that such evil exists. Is it payback? If so, why and to whom?
Clues seem to evaporate as soon as discovered. It’s one heck of a story, with so many twists and turns. Definitely a page turner...
I look forward to the next novel.
Thanks to Better Reading and the publisher for an advance copy to review.
* The You Tube interview with the author, Roger Simpson, was also quite interesting.
