Jadon Glover is a debt collector. He goes up and down the crooked streets every Wednesdsy without fail, collecting back money thats been loanded out. One Wednesdsy he just disappears without a trace. DI Joanna Piercy is called in to find out what could have happened to Jadon.

This is the thirteenth book in the series to feature Jo Piercy. I have previously read books one and two. Normally I insist on reading books in order. I like to get to know the characters and their lives. In this instance it made little difference and from this book I have a good idea what is going on in Joanna's life.

I enjoyed this book. I found it not too long and not very taxing. There wasn't a lot of violence and the story is very police procedures.

I did think the story had an Agatha Christie feel about it. A debt collector goes missing, residents were suspects but which one could it have been. The story didn't seem twisty, its just a game of elimination.

What let the story down for me was the ending. I felt that the killer was revealed quickly. It could have been any of them and I felt the killer was drawn out of a hat. The reason behind it seemed a bit weak.

However I enjoyed this quick read and would read more but won't worry if not in order.

Thank you to the publisher via Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review the book. ( )
