Perfect Kill by Helen Fields

5.0

I seem to have a habit of doing this; selecting books from series that I haven’t come across before, this one is the latest book in the DI Callanach series set in Scotland (and a bit of France). And I’m grateful to see this hasn’t affected my enjoyment of this latest offering - it sucked me right in. This is a brutal tale (not one for the squeamish) into kidnapping and modern slavery, with some pretty despicable excuses for humans. Their treatment of the women they’ve abducted is abhorrent. There’s also the baffling case of young Scottish man whose body is found dumped on a French building site, all of his organs have been harvested. This is the tale of the police team that investigates these crimes - headed by DCI Ava Turner. This is a gripping read, with some characters that you’ll warm to, and others that you’ll want to see meet a sticky end. I’m definitely going to check out the earlier books in the series.
