Blood on the Rock

My review -
A
body is found on a boat. It belongs to a member of a rather fractured family
and as Le Claire and his team investigate, they are snowed under with people
who might have wanted the man dead. Their task is to sieve out the evidence and
find which one it actually was.
I’ve
really enjoyed this series, this being the third. The relationships, within Le
Claire’s own family, and between members of his team, are growing and
strengthening, and I’m enjoying taking these journeys with them. Kelly Clayton
manages to find a good balance between the popular but often incredible ‘rogue
cop’ genre and the foot-slogging real life police drama. Sometimes you could
shake Jack Le Claire, but you admire his tenacity and his attention to the job.
Snippets of his family life add to the mix and a horrible episode from his past
comes up to bite him at the end. There’ll be more Jack Le Claire, I’m glad to
say! A really good story in which the island of Jersey is almost a character.
