The Santa Killer

 

The Santa Killer by Ross Greenwood- Crime

A woman is attacked on her doorstep rather viciously. No-one has anything negative to say about her so who and why has she been targeted? Alternate chapters give us the perpetrator and a little of their lives and what is going through their minds. DI Barton is rather short handed but has little to go on, however the clues are there when the daughter of the victim draws a picture. “He’s got a list. It’s quite precise. It won’t matter even if you’re nice” . Bad Santa.

There's something special about Ross’s books. They quickly draw me in and envelope me. A detective who is relatively normal and whose charm and character is wonderful. A story that rapidly comes to life and I almost feel I “ know” DI Barton- so well is the character written. This is a charm of a read and the last in the series. A cracker of a plot and a highly recommended exciting read.

The Santa Killer

The Santa Killer is coming to town… One night less than two weeks before Christmas, a single mother is violently assaulted. It’s a brutal crime at the time of year when there should be goodwill to all. When DI Barton begins his investigation, he’s surprised to find the victim is a woman with nothing to hide and no reason for anyone to hurt her. A few days later, the mother of the woman attacked rings the police station. Her granddaughter has drawn a shocking picture. It seems she was looking out of the window when her mother was attacked. And when her grandmother asks the young girl who the person with the weapon is, she whispers two words. Bad Santa. The rumours start spreading, and none of the city’s women feel safe - which one of them will be next? He’s got a list. It’s quite precise. It won’t matter even if you’re nice.
