Killer's Cross
2015
Another great crime mystery from Wendy Jones! The accumulation of murders is lightened by the sharp wit of DI Shona McKenzie and the entertaining relationships between the key players. Like others, I thought this was the best one yet - perhaps because I have come to know and love the characters as the series has developed. Roll on number four!
Bodies with crosses carved on their chests! All left outside Dundee Churches! All members of the religious community! DI Shona McKenzie has to find the common factor linking the deaths, and catch the killer before he strikes again. Is her latest case as simple as it seems?
