Blond-haired, green eyed women in a little English town are literally dropping dead, thanks to poisoned darts. Pandemonium erupts when the murder count climbs and the police seem no closer to finding the killer and the clues are slow in coming. Will the killer be caught and just how many lives will be lost until then?I enjoyed 'The Dart Murders' immensely and read in a few short hours. Kipling knows how to tell a story and I found the book very engaging. It's one that lovers of murder mysteries will find a great read. The narrative is well written and great insight is given into the live of the victims, making you care for them and wanting justice served. The other characters are likable too, including the curt and sometimes gruff lead inspector and his associate who at times come across very heavy handed but are highly efficient at what they do. I would love to see the Inspectors Geoffrey and Patrick reprised in future works. The plot is smooth and the story unfolds nicely. It's a real page turner that leads to a very satisfying end.
