The Beauty Killers

I've read the first two in this series from Ann Girdharry. They are just that bit different featuring Kal Medi as a resourceful woman out to right wrongs.

Women will go missing. And none will return.
A collector who lures women
And then keeps them

A string of beautiful women go missing.
And when an undercover policewoman disappears, Kal and Marty take the case.

They track a killer who lures women, captures them and keeps them.

But it soon becomes clear the case is even more sinister than they imagined. 
A high-level detective is linked to a cover-up and Kal and Marty are caught in a complex,
evil conspiracy.
The clock is ticking to find the missing women and it seems the perpetrator has more than one accomplice...

My review - 

Kal and her friend Marty are invited by DCI Spinks to help with a missing persons case which now involves a police officer. The case becomes personal for Kal and things escalate fast. This is the third in the author’s Kal Medi series and I think it’s the best to date. That’s saying something as I loved the earlier ones. The scenes are well drawn so you can really picture them and the characters, with their human flaws, are very easy to relate to. Another great story in this brilliant series. I heartily recommend it. About the author - Ann Girdharry is a trained psychotherapist.  She worked for many years in the UK as a manager in the not-for-profit sector. Today, she lives in Montpellier, France with her husband and two children. She enjoys travelling and has lived in the USA, Norway, France and UK.

My review -

Kal Medi is still influenced by her father’s activities. She takes a young girl under her wing after almost knocking her down in a rain storm. The girl, Sophie is heading for a place Kal knows to be a brothel, and she’s worried about her. Things, in the event, are worse than Kal expected. Kal becomes involved in a seedy underworld with a girl who has spent much of her life in a psychiatric institution. Her best friend, Marty, just out of hospital, also volunteers to help, and the pace picks up.

I found this a very exciting story, and became involved from the beginning. It’s the second Kal Medi story, and I found it even better than the first. I hope it’s the beginning of a longer series.

I received an advance review copy of this book.
