The Soho Killer

 

THE SOHO KILLER by Biba Pearce- crime 

DI Rob Miller has been called to a case where a man has been left in a garden area in Soho. He has drawn a crowd due to what he is, or rather isn't wearing. When the team visits his husband they find he isn't into BDSM which is the gear he was wearing and led rather a quiet life. Rob’s wife Jo works for MI5 and when one of their own is killed in a very similar M.O, the secret service wants to take over. Who is killing these men, why the gear and what is their motive?

I really enjoy this series (they do stand alone). Biba has a skill of drawing the reader in very quickly and a wonderful depth of characters that bring them alive. There is a subplot or two which enhances this without in any way taking away from the main plotline, to me this gives the characters that extra depth, that added bit of real life to make them even more believable. A brilliant read and a wonderful main plot line that kept me turning the pages faster and faster. A big 5* from me.

A HEARTSTOPPING MYSTERY FROM YOUR NEW CRIME FICTION OBSESSION: BIBA PEARCE.

Detective Rob Miller gets a call he doesn’t want to take.

Rob is called to London’s West End on personal business when he gets a call. A body has been discovered in Soho Square.

The victim has whip marks on his back, a leather mask covering his face and a ball-gag in his mouth. The cause of death appears to be strangulation, but was it murder or a mistake?

The evidence quickly stacks up against the victim’s partner, Ralph Keaton. Under pressure from his higher-ups, Rob arrests Ralph under suspicion of murder.

But Ralph is adamant he’s innocent, and Rob’s gut is telling him the same thing. Yet Ralph lied about his alibi for the evening in question.

Then another man’s body is found: bound, gagged and dumped in the middle of a busy London square without any witnesses.

This killer is smart. It’s up to Rob to be smarter. But with a baby to look after and his boss breathing down his neck, Rob’s got a lot on his plate.

Then the killer makes it personal.

Now everything’s on the line . . .

AN UNSTOPPABLE CRIME MYSTERY THAT YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO PUT DOWN.

This gripping page-turner is perfect for fans of Helen H. Durrant, James Oswald, Joy Ellis, Angela Marsons, L.J. Ross, Janice Frost and J.M. Dalgliesh.
