Silenced For Good by Alex Coombs
“Detective Hanlon is addicted to violence. She likes the rush, the danger, the losing
control…”
Detective Hanlon, having been hauled over the coals yet again, has made her way
to the islands of Scotland for a holiday to try and sort herself out. She is being
investigated by the IOPC and it could be the end of her career. On arrival she sees
police vehicles indicating that there has been an incident. She soon discovers that
it is the death of one of the staff at the hotel where she is staying. She becomes
aware of drug smuggling , possible police involvement in an unofficial capacity, and
when there is another body she finds herself on the investigation trail, albeit
unofficial herself. Old habits die hard. I enjoyed this, it was that little bit different
from normal crime books or an outsider doing the investigating. There are
some wonderful descriptions and being a runner, the scenes of endless hills and
forest tracks sounded idyllic. A tough no nonsense lead character and a plot
that has its twists and turns along the way. A highly enjoyable read set in
beautiful scenery.
