Shallow Ground - Andy Maslen

 Shallow Ground - Andy Maslen

She read

Detective Ford still blames himself for his wife’s death six years ago in a climbing accident.  He struggles with his guilt as he raises his son, Sam, and tries to balance that relationship with the demands of his job.  Newly promoted to Detective Inspector, his first case is a serial killer whose MO is exsanguination.  

The plot is interesting and there is good character development, especially in his fellow team members.  New CSI Hannah Fellowes, a highly trained and skilled investigator is particularly interesting as an Asperger’s savant. Fast paced and engrossing, I will add Andy Maslen to my must read mystery/police procedural authors.  

This is advertised as the first of the Detective Ford book series.  I hope there will be more.
