Dead End

Another exciting and really gripping book from Sally Spencer.

He was going to have to kill Monika, he decided. It was a pity, but there it was. The body has lain buried for years, and has no face and no fingertips. D.I. Monika Paniatowski's team have no real leads, but when they discuss the case at her hospital bedside - where she lies paralysed - Monika begins to see possible links with a case she closed four years earlier. Are the two cases connected? Did the first murder make the second almost inevitable? She doesn't know, but she does know that she is being watched by an old enemy who will kill her if he decides there is ever any chance of her sharing her thoughts and information with her team.
Extremely, unusual slant on the paralysed detective. Could she communicate her thoughts and opinions to her former colleagues who are searching for answers.
I have read many other books by this very thrilling and highly iimaginative author and always know that I can rely on him to write books that I won't be able to put down once started. Research is excellent and it was very evocative of the period it was set in. I strongly recommend this book for it's sheer excitement.
