The Millionaire Murders by Rachel McLeanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A lawyer is found murdered in her own bed in her holiday home on Sandbanks (the UK's Millionaire's Row) alongside a much younger man by her Spanish housekeeper Ines and her Romanian boyfriend Vali.
DCI Lesley Clarke is called in to investigate, but then the reporter Sadie Dawes is reported as not having returned from her holiday (or even having gone) and suddenly she is investigating a disappearance (possibly murder) as well as two murders. Is Sadie's disappearance linked to her investigation of DCI Mackie's death? Who would want the lawyer dead and who is her mysterious companion? With the suspects mounting thick and fast Lesley will have her work cut out.
This hung together better than the previous books for me, it felt like the police followed the clues, even if the murderer yet again behaved completely stupidly and gave themselves away. I also like that the investigation into the death of DCI Mackie is bringing in more people.
