A humorous but dark story of a Police Detective husband that is certain that the disappearance of a man is suspicious. But as he searches for clues he finds that the culprit is …. Well he doesn’t want to believe it, but he has always thought the law must be upheld. His marriage has been going through a bit of a rough patch too, and this whole thing isn’t going to make it any better. There’s lots of satirical humour to enjoy, and some nasty characters who deserve what they get. If this was the real world you might wonder about the Police Force’s ability to prosecute a crime. But this is fiction, so it is fine that the ending is a bit unbelievable. Then again, given what we see revealed in Newspapers and on TV, maybe not so totally unbelievable after all. In the end it’s a fun read. Thank you to Storm Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC. The views expressed are all mine, freely given.
