The End Of The Wasp Season by Denise Mina, Orion, $24.99.
Evil Lars Anderson hangs himself from a tree on his criminally acquired country estate and his dark shadow hangs over his family and those unfortunate enough to meet them.
Hundreds of miles away in a wealthy suburb of Glasgow, a young woman is viciously murdered. From the start of this imaginative police procedural, we know Lars’ son, Thomas, and his friend, Squeak, are involved.
Yet we are kept guessing, along with DS Alex Morrow, as to who did what and why. Denise Mina writes beautifully and in Morrow she has created a detective with a difference, an investigator with her own problems, but who’s happily married and pregnant with twins.
Fans of crime fiction will enjoy this fresh new talent and her charming policewoman.
