When Shadows Fall by Neil LancasterMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
DS Max Craigie is contacted by a former colleague in the Navy (can one say colleague?) who now works on Mountain Rescue, a middle-aged blonde woman has fallen to her death whilst walking the Munroes, sadly deaths are not uncommon, but Max's friend is worried that the number of women dying has increased dramatically and is at odds with the normal statistics - ie women are traditionally better prepared and more cautious than male climbers.
Although not their usual purview, when the team start investigating there have been five other women in the last year who have had similar 'accidents' and they all look eerily similar, middle-aged recently divorced/separated, and blonde. More worrying, none of the deaths appears to have received more than a cursory investigation.
As the team dig deep they put Janie undercover, but could her life be at risk?
I love this series, I like the way they have branched out of pure police corruption (although TBH there would be no-one left in Police Scotland if they didn't) and I like the addition of the new team member.
I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley.
