Description

Written by someone who was formally one of the most experienced detectives in UK policing, the series is a stunningly realistic view into the intricacies and excitement of investigating major crime. 

Viscount Peveril’s grandson, George, has gone missing, and DCI Alexander (Sandy) McFarlane has been asked by the family to investigate his disappearance. 

After commencing his search in Norfolk and Derbyshire, Sandy soon finds himself in Manitoba, Canada, trying to locate George and the two friends he has run away with.

Across the ocean, in Derby city centre, a young police officer is found having been shot dead by suspected drug dealers, and a large-scale police investigation is set in motion to catch his killers.

Before long, Sandy’s investigation into George’s disappearance and the murder of the young police officer collide, and Sandy finds himself in conflict with the senior officer leading the murder case as they try to unravel the truth. 

This gripping and authentic crime mystery is the second book in the DCI McFarlane series.

What an enjoyable read this book was. When a young man goes missing, DCI Sandy Mc Farlane is called to investigate. George is the grandson of a Viscount and has fled to Canada along with two of his friends. A young police officer is shot and killed. is there a connection between both events? I liked the settings of Norfolk, Derbyshire and Canada and the descriptive passages. The plot was interesting and there was enough tension to keep me interested until the end. This is more of a cosy mystery than a thriller but it's a very good read from an author who knows his police procedures. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

DCI Sandy McFarlane is the main character in this new Police Procedural from a new author who, if anyone, should know plenty about Police Procedures. It was a nice surprise to find out that Russell Wate is not only a very good detective but he also knows how to write an exciting page turner of a book! Of course the policing aspects are detailed and no doubt accurate and the plot is intricate and well structured. The characters are interesting and well developed except I did find Sandy McFarlane too much of a “ nice guy” and a bit too perfect at times. Perhaps we could see a bit more of an “edge” for him in the next book? I hope there will be another one since Russel Wate has a great talent for writing fiction that is engaging and which runs along at a good pace.

Many thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for providing advanced access tp this book.

This was a new author for me . I never read anything from this author before but for the most part I really liked this book. I thought the whole story was amazing. I honestly didn’t want this book to end. I can’t wait to see what this author comes up with on the next book they write. I usually judge a book from the cover because for me it shows if it’s going to be interesting or not and I loved the book.

Interesting, and engaging, novel about a DCI whose role involves investigating crimes both at home and abroad. A well-connected teenager has gone missing, at the same time as a police officer has been shot. DCI McFarlane is involved in one case, but has to involve himself in both when circumstances dictate.

The characters are well-rounded, the plot is believable, and page-turning, so I would recommend this to anyone wanting a good read.

With thanks to NetGalley and Cranthorne Millner Publishers for an ARC.
