Detective Chief Inspector Andrew Fenwick

review 1: Serial killers are heinous by definition. It's a good thing there are more of them in books then there are in real life! One of the creepiest I've read about in a while is in Elizabeth Corley's book, Grave Doubts. Not only has he literally been getting away with murder for years, but he has a disciple (thankfully in prison for the duration of the novel).Louise Nightingale, a police officer, was deployed to entrap the disciple, and almost pays for it with her life. The serial killer decides she has to die, too...and his progress towards doing so continues over the course of the story.Nightingale is a very interesting character. Aside from suffering PTSD as a result of the entrapment, there is a mystery in her own life regarding her family, and she slowly manages to pie... morece it together.Nightingale's superior officer is Andrew Fenwick, also a man with a complicated story.To see how all of these peoples' narratives entwine and resolve, you'll just have to read the book.There are more books with Andrew Fenwick in them, although I have yet to read them. Based on what I've read in this one, I'll be back for more.
review 2: Most books about serial killers are not great literature, but even by the lowest standards of the genre, this is formulaic rubbish. The writing is poor and the editing even worse. If even the book's editor couldn't be bothered to correct the basic punctuation mistakes, you wonder why they bothered to publish it at all. Ah yes, because it ticked all the boxes of the "serial killer formula." Don't waste your time.PS I only gave it one star because I don't know how to give it zero and still have it included in the average star rating. less
