An exciting, realistic story with good characters,
By
This review is from: Shifting Skin (Detective Jon Spicer Thrillers) (Paperback)
There was a lot to like in this book.
D.I. Jon Spicer who features both in this book and 'Killing The Beasts' is a really likable, flawed character for a start. In this book we see his relationship develop with his partner Rick Saville, whom he suspects is a 'plant' in order for his boss, McCoughlin to keep an eye on him. The investigation is interesting, from the partially skinned female bodies that keep turning up to the disappearance of salesman who also falls under suspicion. What I like about all of Simms writing is how well informed and topical it is and this novel is no exception. Set in Manchester (England) Spicer and Saville's investigations take them to tattoo parlours, gay bars, a cosmetic surgery clinic and an escort agency as well as a seedy hotel where there's a possible witness to a murder that there isn't a corpse for. Simms is a talented author and his books would make great TV dramas. |
