MURDER ACROSS THE LINES by Janice Frost- Crime
An SC is standing at a crossing when a motor bike climbs the pavements and
stabs a girl next to her. Special constable Jane, although voluntary, decides
she wants to find out more and do whatever she can. Then her adversary
DI Warwick appears and warns her off- they have never really seen eye to
eye despite Jane's heroics in the past. Jane is a witness in DI Warwicks drug
investigation- she saw the whole thing and heard the girl's last word
“ Nate” who turns out to be a missing boy. Can they find Nate in time before
he becomes yet another victim of drug crime?
This is the second in the series (Murder amongst Friends being the first)
but would probably stand alone. I really enjoy these- despite the subject
matter (this is a crime book after all!) this is a nice easy read and I have
really taken to Jane and her tenacity. Di Warwick has her own demons to
deal with and hence the frosty knickers type personality.
A book that gives an insight into county lines for those not in the know.
A very interesting and well researched read that I would highly recommend.
