Where No Shadows Fall By Peter Ritchie
Publisher Black & White Publishing
Expose the truth or let the dead lie still?
Grace Macallan’s life is on an even keel – at last. But a 9-to-5 career away from the frontline isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
So when she’s sent to investigate a suicide at Glasgow’s notorious Barlinnie prison, Grace gladly escapes her desk. The dead inmate is Tommy McMartin, heir to a ferocious criminal family. His murder conviction saw Tommy’s fall from power; cast out not for violence but because the victim was his gay lover.
The investigation drags Grace into contact with her McMartin adversaries of old. But the gangland dynasty is under threat and, as it topples, secrets once dead and buried are unearthed.
As she unravels Tommy McMartin’s fate, Grace senses someone watching her from the shadows, someone who aches for revenge. An awful dilemma faces her: to expose the truth or let the dead lie still.
MY REVIEW
I’ve tried to stay away from doing a spoiler as I know there are so many crime fans that read books by Peter Ritchie .
Peter Ritchie is a retired senior police officer and always tells the amazing fictional stories, that keep me reading through high tension scenes of crime. Tommy had always been described as violent. All the evidence was there of a struggle in the bedroom, with the victim that had a cut throat. But Tommy told his lawyer he got drunk and couldn’t recall anything. Is he telling the truth though?
As I love reading novels by Peter Ritchie I’m looking forward to his next book when Grace Macallen’s returns in Our Little Secret. I’ve already had a little sneak at the new book, sorry couldn’t resist it as it was at the back of this book Where No Shadows Fall.
