Although I have not read any other books in this series and as this is 13th in the series, Deathly affair can be read as a standalone.
Geraldine Steele has just been demoted from DI to DS in the Serious Crime Unit in the town of York. When a homeless man is discovered murdered by strangulation in a doorway. Thinking that this is one-time only incident another murder is committed. A man is arrested for his murder but, it soon turns out that he is not the killer. Soon after, a van who has failed it’s MOT has been reported a stolen turns up with a body wrapped up in a carpet. Could all these murders be linked in some way?
Thank you NetGalley and No exit for a copy of Deathly affair. I quite enjoyed this. This police procedural that I have read, has had the most red herrings I have ever read it in a crime novel. It was mad. But, saying that, it had a great storyline and characters with lots and twists and turns that made it more interesting. I will be looking out for more books from this author. 4 stars from me.
