Stone Cold Killing

 

Stone Cold Killing by D.E. White- Crime (Det Dove Milson#4) 

DC Milson and partner are driving towards a road accident when they see a baby in a carrier in the middle of the road. As they go to investigate, shots are fired. Very soon afterwards there is a 999 call to a woman fairly close by who has been fatally stabbed in her caravan. Surely this isn't a coincidence? There are drugs found in the car and the victim is an elderly woman. How on earth can they be connected? Dove is also having her own private issues-she has seen messages she wishes she hadn't on the phone of her fiancé Quinn.

I love this series (they will happily stand alone) and the author's style of writing. I'm quickly into the heart of the drama and ensconced between the pages. Dove is a very realistic likeable character- tenacious with a sense of humour and a very determined streak. The personal subplot works very well with the main plot line and to me gives the characters a wonderful depth of reality. A book that kept me glued to the pages and a well thought out crafted plot. A highly enjoyable read with lots of twists and turns right to the very end.

The baby was in the middle of the road. Cocooned in a car seat, tiny face suddenly, violently, illuminated by the headlights.

Detective Steve Parker rushes to the car, while Dove attends to the baby. But the baby is just a doll, and the driver is missing. There is a trail of blood leading into the woods. As they’re searching the scene, gunshots are fired. A shadowy figure crashes through the woods. Steve is shot. Then a body is found nearby.
