This review is from: Blood Brother (Thorndike Press Large Print Paperback Series) (Paperback)

This is the fourth novel of the Inspector "Jacko" Jackson series. As usual, I have read it out of sequence and it is the first that I have encountered. Jackson is a detective of the Major Crimes Squad and has been assigned a tantalizing Police Constable to investigate the murder of a tv producer, Penny Browne. Penny Browne is the sister of Russell Browne who happens to be a rising political star of the Tory party. Penny, unlike her conservative brother, was much further to the left and was planning on doing a documentary that would be damaging to Russell's career. Throw in the fact that Penny was having an affair with a married man who happens to be Russell's greatest political opponent. The plot is complex and there are many surprises and twists and turns. The novel is highly political in nature and as I am not very familiar with the ins and outs of British political history it can be daunting at times. But you will enjoy the various police characters and their interactions. The major players in the novel are well developed and it is a thoroughly enjoyable police procedural.
