Dead Souls by Angela Marsons
5.0
She has done it once again. I know I say this with each book Ms Marsons brings us in this series, but it is still as true now as when I first said it. DI Kim Stone continues to come across as one of my favourite characters in a book series of this kind, each story bringing so much more to the characters I have grown to love.
This book separates Kim from her colleagues as she is forced into working with a team she wouldn't normally be a part of. She has to dig deep within herself and keep her own feelings at bay as much as she can while investigating the discovery of several sets of bones in a field. While she is doing so, members of her own team find themselves straying to a place which could lead them into the line of fire.
The book deals with matters of racial abuse in a very good way. We see things from the view of racist people as well as from those suffering from racism. The author is sympathetic throughout but tells the story in a realistic way.
As the story heads toward its dramatic conclusion Kim discovers that although she is not with her team in person, the fate of one of her close colleagues is very much in her hands.
A brilliant read from someone who is most definitely at the top of my go-to author's. I highly recommend this series, and indeed this book, to anyone who loves a good police procedural book.
Huge thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for providing a copy.
