Blue Murder

My review -
The
story begins with the callous murder of a young man, and DCI Tyler and DS Mills
have the task of discovering who killed him. He used to be in a band which is
about to get its big break, but he left to start his university studies. He wrote
one of the songs that his erstwhile best friend is claiming authorship of. There’s
a tangled web between the young men involved, and two sisters who at various
times have been the girlfriends of some of them. These lives and intrigues
weave together to make a real knot, and it’s a job and three quarters for Tyler
and Mills to untangle it.
Mark
Fowler had given all these characters a reason to mistrust one another, in some
cases even to hate each other. Yet is it enough to murder someone? Someone who wasn’t
even in the band any longer? The more questions they ask the tighter the knot
becomes. I found this intriguing and at times very exciting as the detectives,
whose banter has now become more relaxed, work their way through conflicting
evidence. Is anyone telling the truth? A very good read indeed.
