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.
