Murder of a Lover 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.
The cold case in this novel concerns Rowan Thompson, a student who was found stabbed to death with a pair of dressmaking scissors in his student house. Although he had a steady girlfriend, Rowan was known to be liberal with his affections with rumours that he experimented with men as well as women and had been known to indulge with multiple partners. In addition, the autopsy found that Rowan had traces of an unknown drug in his system, was he a dealer for something cooked up by one of the chemistry students?
Meanwhile, Hillary's stalker is escalating and she appears to be making some rash decisions.
