See Them Run by Marion ToddMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of the fifth book in this series and I liked it so much I went and bought the previous four books.
Detective Inspector Clare Mackay runs the small St Andrews police station, she had previously been based in Glasgow in the Armed Response Unit, but she chose to move to St Andrews after she shot and killed a young man brandishing a replica gun during a robbery. She is estranged from her boyfriend as a result of the incident and her family and colleagues are concerned about her mental health.
At a wedding celebration the bride's brother is lured outside and deliberately mown down by a car. The murderer reverses over his body and leaves a card with the number 5 on the victim's body. The following night another man is killed in the same fashion, although this time the card bears the number 4. Clare realises very quickly that there could be a serial killer at large with three further victims to come. But what connects them and who wants to kill them?
To add to Clare's woes, the Detective Chief Inspector assigned to supervise the case was close friends with the second victim and his wife!
I enjoyed this police procedural, there were some elements which seemed quite obvious and others which took me completely by surprise which is always a bonus. On to the next one.
