This Little Piggy- Rob Ashman-Crime 5*
A man is found murdered in a most unusual way. Acting DCI Kray thinks there is more
to this than first meets the eye- and what met the eye wasn’t pleasant. Kevin’s wife
has thrown him out as she wanted the good life which he couldn’t give her. After
being a successful businessman he is now working in an abattoir (some descriptive
scenes) and there he lives out his fantasies of what he would like to do to certain
people. As ever Rob grabs you from the start with an intriguing plot and wonderful
characters (or not so wonderful in one case). His style of writing is easy to follow
and I could see this as a gripping T.V drama. A plot to keep you in suspense, a
lead character with tenacity and determination ( I especially enjoy a female lead)
and scenes to keep your mind more than active. Another brilliant read from Rob,
I very much look forward to the next one.
