CRITICAL INCIDENTS BY LUCY WHITEHOUSE
Paperback published by 4th Estate
A Birmingham house fire . A young mother dead. The main suspect? Her husband but he’s disappeared.
A young woman has also disappeared but the police don’t seem concerned. Desperate, her mother turns to a less official channel for help.
That less official channel? Former DI Robin Lyons. Once a high flyer in Homeicide Command at the Met, she’s been sacked for misconduct and forced home to Birmingham broke and disgraced.
She thinks she’s hit rock bottom, but she’s about to learn there’s much further to fall. Because the mother who died was Robin’s best friend and she will risk everything to get to the truth.
MY REVIEW
I have read many of Lucie Whitehouse books. My favourite books by Lucie are The House at Midnight and The Bed I Made. Critical Incidents may have switched its audience slighty this time round, with intelligent DI Robin Lyons who gets fired, as her boss wanted to charge a man with murder he didn’t commit just because he was bad and the public would be better off if he was inside. But outspoken DI Robin Lyons didn’t quite agree with that and she said so and why not, surely she has a right to her opinion? Off course a boss doesn’t like it if you don’t agree with them and she got fired just for that. Then comes a house fire, a missing girl. A murdered friend.
MY THANKS
I would like to thank @midaspr and 4th Estate for sending me my book to read and review and for inviting me to take part in this blog tour
