Murder Never Retires 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.
After having retired 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, Hillary returned after 18 months and joined the cold case Crime Review Team, assisted by two civilian interns and a retired police sergeant.
The cold case in this novel concerns Anna McRae, a young mother of three, who was found beaten to death in her kitchen with a rolling pin. She was having an affair with her brother-in-law so her husband and her sister are high on the list of suspects, although the husband had a rock-solid alibi.
Meanwhile, Hillary appears to have found an admirer, who has quickly turned into a stalker.
