Alex. D. MacLean

distinctive voice in a crowded field

Excellent police procedural with a cast of interesting characters.

Loved the flashback sections and also the fact that it started as a why-did-it before developing into the more normal whodunnit.

Plenty of character background and a plot that moves along at a nice pace allowing the reader to guess and second guess themselves silly.

I’m looking forward to reading the next instalment of the life Allan Stanton

Halifax Detective Allan Stanton is assigned a new case. A security officer has been found dead, but there also seems to be a second crime scene in the same vicinity. But this is only the start, and what is happening to the body parts and why.
Although we know the name of the killer this does not distract from an enjoyable well-written mystery.

Detective Allan Stanton has left Halifax to visit his son. Meanwhile Detective Audra Price has been called to a murder scene. When personal events overtake Price, Allan Stanton is contacted and takes over the investigation.
An interesting read and mystery
