The Sisterhood- John Nichol- Crime
Oh what a wonderful read! In a small town in Wales there is a womens refuge
for those who have managed to escape. Run by Ivy who has gone through
her own trauma and hence understands both sides, she is respected by the
police. DI Laura Kesey has her own issues not least of all forgetting her
partner's birthday so is in the dog house when there is a hit and run
that may well have more to it. The victim is a known abuser and whilst
justice has to be done, anyone knowing his crimes wouldn't be
saddened at the news. When another known abuser is killed, albeit
in Cardiff Sergeant Lewis has more than a gut feeling.
Laura meanwhile is suffering at the hands of the misogynistic
DCI Halliday who looks to undermine her for every little thing,
constantly telling her she is not up to the job. I loved this, it's a
serious subject (or two) done in a very different way. The women have
such wonderful camaraderie and you can see their point of view
and how they have suffered. A clever concept, a wonderful read
and one to leave you with a smile.
