This is the second book in the Sasha Dawson series, and once again MK Hill has written an engrossing story, that draws you in from the start. Dawson is the sort of detective inspector who has the respect and trust of her colleagues, and more importantly, the reader. Her character, while complicated, does not play to the usual stereo types of woman competing against all the odds to succeed, she is not even a defective detective.
Called to a murder scene at an Essex railway station, they discover the parts of Andrew ‘Deano’ Dean, the victim. Ordinarily it would have been dismissed as a suicide, but the distraught train driver saw him fighting with someone before he was killed. Once an autopsy has been completed, it becomes a lot clearer that this is murder and not suicide.
When they dig deeper into Deano they discover that he had been interviewed along with some friends about the disappearance of a girl in Wales. Amongst those who were interviewed was TV reality star Danny ‘Abs’ Cruikshank whose career had gone downhill since that investigation and was trying to work his way back to television.
Dawson who leads a team of officers, some of whom may watch too much reality tv, have this murder to investigate as well as the disappearance of a number of young women from around Essex. Two different crimes, but the team would investigate them both to the best of their abilities.
This book gives an interesting insight to the world which reality stars inhabit, how they have to keep reinventing themselves, and can never allow the truth to get out. How they will do anything to stay in the publics view, even if it puts themselves in danger, take too many risks anything just to be loved by the public.
This is a relatively pacey procedural thriller, with carefully scattered clues to who the killer is, and while there is no big twist at the end, there are a few surprises along the way.
An excellent read, not to taxing on the mind, but highly enjoyable. ( )
