2 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
When a woman goes missing, it gets personal for DCI Craig Gillard. But he could never imagine what happens next. Criminologist Martin Knight lives a gilded life and is a thorn in the side of the police. But then his wife Liz goes missing. There is no good explanation and no sign of Martin... To make things worse, Liz is the ex-girlfriend of DCI Craig Gillard who is drawn into the investigation. Is it just a missing person or something worse? And what relevance do the events around the shocking Girl F case, so taken up by Knight, have to do with the present? The truth is darker than you could ever have imagined. Utterly gripping and full of twists, this is a compulsive thriller from master Nick Louth for fans of Robert Bryndza, Patricia Gibney and Carole Wyer. What readers are saying about Nick Louth'An unputdownable, heart-thudder of a read' Carol Wyer, author of Little Girl Lost ‘This was up there with the best thrillers I have ever read.’ ‘Had me hooked from the start! I would definitely recommend this book.’ ‘It grips you from the first page to the last. Excellent.’

Struggled to get into it. Didn't find DCI Craig likeable - nor, for that matter, his fling, his boss, his other colleagues... I didn't see the major twist coming, so that's a big plus, but by the time it came I had waded through too many long descriptions to savour it. I also found there was a fair bit of stereotyping in character descriptions and interactions.

Great #crime series. A British police procedural with grit, Louth introduces us to DCI Craig Gillard. A once married but now happily single Gillard is pulled into a missing person investigation. As he uncovers grisly details, this case turns into a murder. And to add more layers, it turns out the victim is a long ago love that once broke Gillard‘s heart. Twists and turns and just a good ‘ol crime read, as are the two following books in the series.
