Burn The Evidence by Keith Nixon

storyman's review

5.0

Burn the Evidence draws you deeper into Solomon Gray’s claustrophobic and dark world. I enjoyed Dig Two Graves, but this feels weightier, its despair demanding you reach for the whisky tumbler. The plot involves local gangsters, Syrian refugees and a hostel for life’s unfortunates. When a Kent beach is found littered with drowned bodies, the seams of Solomon Gray’s personal and professional life picked and pulled until they barely hang together anymore. The mystery is a fine read, but it’s the continued quest for the son he lost years before and the daughter he’s neglected which gives the series its heart and soul.
Looking forward to the next one.

I received a ebook copy  from netgalley in exchange for an honest review

The novel follows the journey of DS Solomon Gray as he investigates the murder of Regan Artimage. Regan was the son of the business tycoon, Jake. Regan's body was found along with the bodies of two immigrants. The police find evidence that there was a third immigrant who has escaped. In the meantime Jeff( DCI) provides some information on Tom, Gray's son who has been missing for 10 years.

Will Gray and team find the third immigrant?
Are the murders related?
Who wants Regan dead?
Will Gray find Tom?
Read to find out

It was a good suspense thriller. I feel bad for not having pieced the puzzle together earlier, but that what makes the book interesting. I would like to read other Solomon Gray books. As I didn't read the first book, did feel left out at certain parts, on the whole it was manageable
