Murder at Work by Faith MartinMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I've read 16 DI Hillary Greene novels practically back-to-back so the reviews will be of necessity a bit brief. If you are binge-reading like I am the reminders of what happened previously can be a bit repetitive, but I imagine it means a new reader could jump right in and get up to speed quickly.
Hillary has chosen to retire early to avoid bringing herself and the Thames valley Police into disrepute if anyone discovered she had helped to cover up a pre-meditated murder by a former colleague. Her boss is trying to change her mind by allocating her a murder investigation just two weeks before she retires.
Michael Ivers is found dead on a small industrial estate by the site security man, who just happens to be our old friend former DS Frank Ross who (as usual) has been cutting corners and making a quick buck on the side. Michael Ivers liked to flash the cash with flash cars and a series of short-term girlfriends. he was also known to have enjoyed more than the odd flutter and belonged to a London casino where he would take friends and acquaintances. Frankly he was such a nasty piece of work that the problem is finding someone who didn't want him dead!
