What starts out as an apparent domestic abuse case turns into something much much more.
Howell has crafted a pretty good mystery revolving around the paramedics who attend the initial domestic abuse case to the detectives who attend the subsequent murder. The prime suspect, the victim’s husband, is not who he seems to be and the detectives find the leads take some unexpected turns.
I liked the snappy dialogue, and the banter between the work colleagues The paramedic scenes were very realistic and obviously drawn from experience, but the story involving the suspect I found a little hard to believe.
Having been bogged down with some heavy Classics lately, I found this was a quick enjoyable read.
This novel is Howell’s fourth and although it is good as a stand alone read, you would benefit from reading Frantic first.
