PERDITION: A Scottish murder mystery with a shocking twist (Detective Inspector Munro murder mysteries Book 7)
<b>Is a drug death suicide, misadventure, or a cleverly calculated murder? London detective Charlotte West takes on Scotland.</b><br><br>An employee of an investment bank is found dead in his car by a freshwater loch in Ayrshire, Scotland, but there are <b>few signs of foul play</b>.<br><br>Indeed, that the man had enough opioid painkillers in him to fell a shire horse, might easily be put down to over-exuberant self-indulgence. But newly promoted and in charge of the investigation, <b>DI Charlie West wants to probe further</b>.<br><br>And when the victim’s links to a minor crime involving a dead goat and an assault on an associate come to light, a <b>suspicious motive begins to emerge</b>.<br><br>DI West must explore shady financial dealings in the up-market parts of Glasgow, and connections to illicit drugs in its poorer quarters, <b>to track the killer</b> in what is now being treated as a murder investigation.<br><br>She is relieved that her mentor, Detective James Munro, once more steps out of his not-so tranquil retirement to lend a hand. His knowledge of the rural areas will be invaluable to a <b>wily but green officer</b>.<br><br>Plus, he can run rings around their superior officer which will help when <b>the pressure to solve the case mounts</b>.<br><br>If you enjoy strong female leads, Scandinavian-style noir, police procedurals that closely follow the team dynamics of an investigation, and <b>stories with a sucker punch of a twist</b>, PERDITION is for you.
