Description
Ghost and Ragman Roll is Book 4 in the bestselling Kind Hearts and Martinets crime series, featuring the eponymous Portsmouth detective DCI Jack (Jane) Austin. DCI Jack Austin is trying to enjoy his honeymoon with Detective Superintendent Amanda Bruce. But it soon becomes a busman's holiday (or the crime busting equivalent) with news of a turf war in Portsmouth, a missing obese gangster who turns up skinny, and the seemingly unconnected murder of a banker in Paris. When an ambitious new detective arrives on Jack's patch and starts making waves, he knows the time has come to get back to Southsea and protect not just his rather tarnished reputation, but those who truly matter to him. Ghost and Ragman Roll is another criminally funny romp with the world's greatest - or is that worst? - police detective, DI Jack (Jane) Austin.

Great story funny plot and understandable and relatable characters, Cockney rhyming slang takes some getting used too but funny and engaging.
Probably better to read the series first to understand everyone better so I've bought the first 3 books on the strength of this one.

This is the first DCI Jack Austin book but that didn't cause any problems in understanding the characters in this book. I was totally amused with DCI Austin and his unusual way of solving crimes. He has an comical and light hearted way to find the gangster that is missing, I couldn't help but like him and feel for his wife who has to make sense of all he does. I loved this book and found myself laughing out loud in the most inappropriate of places so just be careful where you read this. I loved the almost slapstick way he managed to get through life and couldn't help warming to the sometimes colorful language he uses, I am definitely going to purchase the previous books.
Thank you to NetGalley for the copy of the book
