Great crime thriller! Reading vampire books and mowing the lawn at the tender age of five…“He couldn’t just abandon her because she’d already been abandoned. That Marvel’s reluctance to get involved in solving a 12 month hunt for a Breaking and Entering villain locally named Goldilocks is what finally leads him to a murder investigation is wonderfully written. “Dreams died, but the nightmare of reality went on.

In 2015 I read the novel “The Shut Eye” and quite fell in love with the curmudgeonly Detective Inspector Marvel. Thereafter, Jack from the age of 11 becomes the parental figure who does his best to keep the family together and not became separated by social services. Snap has everything the discerning crime thriller fan expects and loads more besides.

This book is so rich and wholesome you will feel you’ve sampled the finest food in the richest banquet. If you're not sucked into the story by the first chapter, you're not human. To have faith in his Father, but who later abandons him and his two sisters, further torments Jack.

Her characters seem ready formed on the page, in a turn of phrase, or an embarrassing situation. We have a wonderful range of police officers who at times seem incompetent or failures but in the end their humanity wins through. As I said the links are slowly found tying all this together not always in obvious ways but always with sense of delight as the picture become clearer.
