Buried Lies-Chris Collett

DI Mariner has a tough day to get through and then takes himself off to the Welsh hills

to try and put his head in order. Meanwhile someone is on the rampage far away- with

a gun. When Tom comes across a runner scared half witless having found a body his

holiday takes a different turn- especially when another murder shortly afterwards is

rather closer to home than is comfortable. He finds a friend whom he hasn’t seen for

over 25 years and makes a new friend in another walker. Chris has the knack of

drawing you in slowly and then grabbing you so that you really don’t want to let go.

I like Tom- he comes across as a solid sort of a chap whom you would never much

want on your side. He has his foibles (don’t we all?) but is a down to earth tenacious

detective and his team are very supportive of him. I wasn’t sure at the start how

this one would pan out as with Tom being away from it all- it was a very different

scenario- I wasn’t at all disappointed.This is number 6 in the DI Mariner series.

It will happily stand alone but reads better in the series.

Another wonderful read from Chris.
