Dark Game Dark Game

Publisher Description

DI Kelly Porter knows some people will risk everything to get ahead. But when the truth comes out deadly prices are paid... 

After a scandal forces DI Kelly Porter out of the Met, she returns to her home turf in the Lake District. Crimes in the Cumbrian constabulary tend to be of the minor sort, but Kelly begins work on a cold case that shocked the local community – the abduction and brutal murder of ten-year-old Lottie Davies.

Meanwhile, Kelly is also investigating two seemingly straightforward crimes: a case involving an illegal immigrant, and a robbery following the death of local businessman Colin Day. But evidence comes to light that reveals a web of criminal activity beyond anything Kelly imagined. Behind the veneer of sleepy, touristy towns lies a dark and dangerous underworld. As Kelly threatens to expose those with much to lose, she risks paying the ultimate price to get to the truth…

Don’t miss this taut and gripping novel from million copy bestseller, Rachel Lynch. Perfect for fans of Carol Wyer, Patricia Gibney and Angela Marsons.

Gripping!

Well written with a great twist and turn as you read. The ending was a little predictable and I wish we had more information connecting the what appear to be two main story lines.

Couldn’t put it down

This is one you really can’t put down! As the pieces of the puzzle come together it is harder and harder to drag yourself away

This is a fabulous five star story.

Dark Game by Rachel Lynch

Kelly Porter is a DI transferred to the Cumbria after a bit of a kerfuffle in London. She inherits a cold case regarding a stolen child and a current case after a rich man dies. And from there things just keep getting murkier!

The story has extraordinary info about police practices integrated with a wonderfully personal approach tied up with intricate detail about the cases and how those, plus another, wind up into each other. Eventually you realise that the local country location is where the most established criminals get to hide their presence and their wealth.

An excellent story, well told, located in a great location; 5/5
