DS Aector McAvoy

review 1: This is a debut novel from this author. I'll be looking for more from him. He creates an honest family- and home-loving man who wants to find bad people. There's something that happened in his past that puts him in an elite squad that has a lot of in-fighting. Aector (pronounced 'Hector') was given this assignment as a reward but instead of actively investigating crimes, he's the computer expert. How he gets involved, and works to figure out the killer in this book is a good read.
review 2: An old man appears to have taken his own life; a young teenaged girl is viciously murdered by a machete in a church. Detective Sergeant Aector McAvoy of the Hull, UK, police is haunted by the idea that there is a connection and soon finds himself on the hunt for a ser... moreial killer. The book is well written, but I could not relate to the psychology of the villain and his rationale for the victims he chose. McAvoy's boss, Trish Pharaoh, is an excellent character, but the hint of an attraction between them seemed forced, as McAvoy is supposedly deeply in love with his wife. Nonetheless, a good debut. less
