HOUND by Ken Ogilvie-Crime
DC Rebecca Bradley is new to being a detective and in some ways she is still earning her
stripes. When a woman escapes from prison, Rebecca is alerted for more than one
reason. Jackie Caldwell is out to get Rebecca as well as her close friend Hound. Rebecca’s
father and grandfather had dealings with Jackie in the past which eventually got her
caught and she is out for revenge and is not a woman to mess with. Hound is a giant of
a man who dotes on Rebecca and will do anything to protect her. With Jackie loose and
on the rampage they are both in danger. I like to know a little more about the main
detective characters as to me it gives the reader more depth and the character more
life. We learn about Rebecca from diary entries at the beginning of some of the
chapters. We also know that for many years she has been wanting to find out more
about her mother’s death and who killed her as the case is still open. Hound comes
across as someone you would very much want on your side, the gentle giant with
loyalty to match. This is the second in the series (Her Dark Path being the first one)
but will happily stand alone. An interesting read. I would love to know more about
Rebecca and her home life and loves and those of her fellow detectives. We learnt
more about her in the final few chapters where both threads come together
nicely. An enjoyable read.
