TWISTED CRIMES
Description
Discover a series of British crime mysteries set on the Dorset coast from bestselling author Michael Hambling.
Follow Detective Sophie Allen as she dives headfirst into a triple murder enquiry. Can she connect the cases and catch a killer?
A couple is found dead in their car on a remote nature reserve. What did they know that would make someone kill to keep them silent?
Retired couple Sylvia and Ted Armitage attend the wrong funeral service by mistake. A month later their daughter returns from holiday to find them missing.
The police make little headway in tracing their whereabouts until their bodies are found in their car, abandoned in the middle of a copse in a tranquil nature reserve. They appear to have committed suicide, but some of the forensic evidence suggests otherwise.
The police slowly make progress and find several links to a shady organisation that owns a string of bars, clubs and cafes.
When another body is found in the same area, DCI Sophie Allen must use all her investigative skills to unravel the connections between these very different victims. Some are involved in shady deals and corruption, others are masking dark family secrets . . .
This totally addictive mystery full of twists is perfect for fans of Joy Ellis, Ann Cleeves, J.D. Kirk, J.M. Dalgliesh and Pauline Rowson.
