A murder on their doorstep
A case that's too close to home . . .
The body of a young woman has been discovered in Bellahouston park, the second in a matter of months. It's clear to Detective Superintendent William Lorimer of Police Scotland that they have a repeat killer on their hands, who is sure to strike again.
Lucky for DSI Lorimer that his wife, Maggie, is miles away from potential danger, touring Scotland to promote her first book. Faced with strangers at every event, Maggie doesn't notice the quiet, non-descript man sitting in the back row.
But he has noticed Maggie Lorimer. And soon his will be a face she never forgets.
Customer Reviews
Maggie never rings true to me
Maggie is being stalker by a violent killer, yet she happily accepts a big bunch of flowers and an unsigned message to meet, presumably her husband, in a dark and deserted church. Anyone with half a brain would be immediately on the phone checking it was he who sent the message. And then the stalker/murderer could still have been taken down instead of going through with such a cliched story of how plucky little Maggie won through. Sorry, I couldn’t even be bothered to read the last couple of chapters - just skimmed a few sentences.
