Let the Dead Speak
At the time of writing, this is only available in print in the US.
My review -
Chloe,
an eighteen year-old, returns early from a visit to stay with her dad and his
family, to find her mother missing and the house splashed with blood. Her
neighbour who has given her a lift home from the station rings the police. DS
Maeve Kerrigan finds herself looking at two dysfunctional families whose lives
have become involved. The neighbours accuse one another and Chloe and her
friend Bethany refuse to speak. There is no body, yet they have to conclude
it’s murder from the amount of blood. It all seems hopeless.
I
enjoyed this so much and was impressed enough to have a quick look at what else
the author has written. It was only at this point that I realised the book is
seventh in a series. To me, that means it’s very well done. It was obvious that
there was some back-story with Maeve and her DI but the plot never at any point
depends on it. It’s a very twisty and highly exciting story and I enjoyed it
very much.
