Der Kuss des Todes: Buch 4

MP Herbert Tucker was a really nasty piece of work, but just who considered him so bad that he deserved to be abducted from the council house car park, re-dressed in a homeless man’s clothes and murdered in a particularly horrible way? That’s the new case for the solid and very likable team at Southend CID, which includes Tomek, DCI “Nasty Nick” Cleaves, DI Victoria Orange, DS Sean Campbell and DCs Chey Carter, Nadia Chakrabarti, Rachel Hamilton, Oscar Perez, Anna Kaczmarek and Martin Brown, each with their very own distinct skill set which produces a highly efficient investigation. Whilst Tomek battles the nightmares about his brother’s murder 30 years ago, his teenage daughter Kasia is also struggling after her ordeal in the previous story and both will need help to lay those terrors to rest as he finds himself and his colleagues plunged into a very complicated case leading them to a vipers’ nest of suspects involving some high profile and apparently untouchable individuals. How long will it be until someone breaks their dark code of silence?
The comradery and humour are plentiful between all the detectives (Nick’s sighs in particular!) as they plough through mounds of evidence and seemingly fruitless leads in a gripping story with lots of twists and red herrings to fool the reader and an ending I didn’t see coming. The main characters are now firmly established and I can’t wait to see what happens to them all next!

Halfway through and as good as the previous 3
