Snakes and Ladders- Adam Croft-Crime
A runner finds a body whilst going through Mildenhall woods. It's a young man
whose parents portray a very clean living well behaved picture of, however he
had his secrets. Knight and Culverhouse also have other problems- after one of
their colleagues was found to be losing information and in the pocket of one of
the most notorious criminals in the area, he is now refusing to testify thinking
it will protect his family. He is incarcerated whilst the major criminal puts his
feet up at home. This is part of a series but will stand alone- however some of
the main characters' background stories make more sense if the rest have been
read. Jack and Wendy, as ever, come across wonderfully. There is that magical
mix of character, tenacity, humour and personality- to me the signs of an
excellent author when a character makes you feel empathy or make you
smile. A nice amount of background story to give depth of character without
distracting from the main plot. A wonderful read that I enjoyed very much
and cant wait for the next in the series.
