Gone To Ground
I have been following Rachel
Amphlett's Kay Hunter series from the beginning and have really enjoyed all of
them. You can read my reviews of two of the earlier books here.
In this latest book, Rachel
Amphlett is on fine form.
When a series of body parts start to turn up in
various locations around the Kent countryside, Kay and her colleagues are at a
loss. There's a real sense of
mystery here and a great plot set up. Despite the unpromising circumstances, they identify the first
body, and then a second. But what links the two? And why on earth would their
killer be cutting them up and leaving bits of their bodies by the roadside.
One thing that does become
clear is that the killer is very dangerous and will almost certainly strike
again. Kay and her team need to stop them before they kill any more people. As
the investigation progresses, Kay and her team find themselves investigating an
interesting set of possible suspects. In parallel to this they also start to
unravel the backgrounds of the victims.
As always the characterisation
is deftly done and Kay's relationship with her colleagues, and also her husband
is vividly drawn. A little light relief is offered by husband, Adam, bringing
his work as a vet home again. This time in the shape of a miniature goat that
seems intent on destroying the garden.
Overall a great read with tension,
pace and a gripping and unusual plot. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks very much to the author
for a review copy of this book.
