Number three in the Holly private detective series, sees our protagonist dealing with Covid, the death of her mother and, her investigating the disappearance of a student.  Holly quickly learns that there were previous similar disappearances and it might be that a couple in their late 80s with some peculiar tastes (literally) might be involved.  A cracking gumshoe novel (albeit not a whodunnit), with a highly unique storyline which will leave the squeamish green.  As always the King delivers.
