The Truth About Murder- Chris Collett-Crime

A disabled man has been mugged at his door and severely injured. He is a lawyer and

he receives a visit from a woman and her daughter, the daughter is keen that her mother

should do something about the undue pressure that she is receiving at work Stefan

once recovered wants to take on the case , not only as the firm is short of work but he

perceives something awry. Meanwhile Mick and Denny have a suicide body to sort

out. Denny is two weeks away from retiring and moving to Portugal and

uncharacteristically is loathed to do any work. When Mick finds a link from the

mugging to the suicide the case heats up. I really enjoyed this. It’s told from two

perspectives- that of Mick the policeman and and Stefan the lawyer- both

characters of which I took to. Each has their own quirks and background story which

gives them depth- something I appreciate in a book. Stefan overcame his

disabilities and Mick found that there was more to his partner than he realised.

A cleverly thought out plot, wonderful characters and a highly enjoyable read.
