The Innocent and the Dead by Robert McNeill

One woman found dead. Another kidnapped. Two cases. Two books. One overworked Scottish detective.

When the body of an attractive young woman is found in woodland on Edinburgh’s iconic Calton Hill, DI Jack Knox quickly establishes that she had worked as a prostitute.

For this reason, getting people who knew her to come forward will prove difficult. Knox will have to cut through their lies, establish a motive and collar the killer.

This is the detective’s dilemma in LABYRINTH, the prequel to a new series of mysteries set in Scotland’s capital.

In THE INNOCENT AND THE DEAD, the second book in the series, DI Jack Knox is called in to investigate a high-profile case. A local distiller’s daughter has gone missing, and when he receives a ransom note, his fears that it is a kidnapping are confirmed.

Knox decides to take a serious risk to capture the abductors, but the stakes could not be higher. The father is wealthy and well-connected. If Knox’s gamble goes wrong, he’ll have hell to pay.

DI Jack Knox is a likeable detective. He likes the odd dram, hankers after his family who are based in Australia, and has a relationship with a colleague he tries to keep under wraps.

This book will appeal to anyone who likes police procedurals in a real setting. It is the first in a series of several.

Bury the Demons by Michael Ghosh

Bobby’s flatmate Martin was also his best friend. They lived in West London and did everything together. With good jobs and money in the bank, their lives were pretty good, or so it seemed…

The story takes a dark turn and lives are dramatically changed when Martin’s girlfriend suspects him of cheating. With her man becoming more and more aloof, and acting rather strangely, she confides in Bobby and he feels compelled to help. Taking the mission one step too far, Bobby tracks Martin down to a leafy village outside of London after he claimed to be visiting his sick father, a man rarely mentioned. Following him into a wooded area, Bobby experiences a thud to the back of his head. When he awakes, he finds himself locked in a cell, which he later learns, to be an abandoned World War II underground bunker. To his amazement, he’s not alone. Surely, it has to be some sort of joke or a bad dream?

Bury the Demons is a fast-paced thriller, full of twists and turns, and plenty of dark humour. A real roller-coaster ride of emotions.
