The Box Hill Killer(Detective Rob Miller #4)- Biba Pearce- Crime
Twelve years ago four men were killed by what was dubbed “ The pentagram
killer” as this was inscribed on their bodies. Today there has been a
robbery at a jewellers and inadvertently a sixteen year old girl got caught
up in the melee. Her DNA provides a familial link to DNA found on the last
victim's body- what is the link? Although number four in a series this will
happily stand alone. The old case is reopened despite not having a whole lot
to go on other than the DNA link. DI Rob Millar and team take the case and
begin to uncover more than was originally found. When there is a twist the
whole thing is turned on its head as there is someone possibly in the picture
who is now in the limelight and the higher ups are keen to quash as
involvement for political reasons. How can Rob and his team proceed if their
hands are tied?
I loved this, it's a well thought out plot and lots going on. Just as one
thing emerges another is taken away and this keeps the pace flowing.
I like Rob and Jenny- there's a “human-ness” about them which comes
across well-more to them than just the job and to me the skill of a good
author. A slightly different type of case- in a very good way that keeps
the brain active A wonderful read with a smile- just how I like it- I very
much look forward to the next one.
