Glenrock
Lee Christine
Reviewed by Helen
I do love a good mystery thriller and Lee Christine does them so well, this one is set around Newcastle New South Wales and is filled with suspense, wonderful characters and I loved it from page one, this really is a fabulous book to dive into and you are not going to want to put it down.
Justice Maurice Tempest has a routine he follows every morning a run in the Glenrock Conservation Area, he starts out this morning with a lot on his mind a big decision has to be made, but he never got the chance to make it, he is found shot, by his driver hours later. When another body is found questions follow is it revenge? Newcastle detective Sergeant Callen O’Connor is called to investigate the murders.
At the same time two young lawyers, Goldie and Nicola working for a big law firm in Parramatta go missing, have they discovered something related to the murder are their lives in danger?
Angela Avery who was a political journalist in Adelaide is now living in Newcastle and reporting for a weekend magazine has been interviewing a soon to be released inmate, Benjamin Reid at the local jail about the murals he has been painting around Newcastle, Angela and Callen have met a few times and when Callen is looking into Ben, Angela is determined to not let her relationship get mixed up.
This is a fabulous book, fabulous characters, I loved the setting and trying to tie all of the clues together kept me turning the pages, I loved getting to know Callen and Angela, but will he be able to discover the killer and why it happened, before there are anymore deaths what where people trying to keep cover up?
I do highly recommend this one, and I am hoping that there will be more stories to come that involve Callen and Angel set around Newcastle. Thank you MS Christine for another awesome story.
My thanks to Allen & Unwin for my copy to read and review.
