Crossed out- Malcolm Hollingdrake- 4*

It’s a bit like a gruesome treasure hunt in Harrogate. Small crosses each with a fishing

type line attached to a bag of dyed hair keep being found. Then bones are discovered

when a house almost falls into a sinkhole. DCI Bennett and his team have got their

hands full. Three people who are on the missing list have a connection via DNA to

the bags found.  Cyril is a very likeable character and Malcolm always gives enough

background to provide extra interest without distracting from the main plot. we

learn a little more about Cyril’ life in each book and this one gives a big insight into

one of his troubles. The more I read about Cyril the more I think he would be a good

neighbour or friend.  A very well written book with a little something for every crime

book reader. A touch of humour and an excellent plot make for an easy enjoyable

read. A book to leave you with a smile.
