My Recommendation
DCI Matilda Darke and the team are back with a bang. Below Ground starts with Scott being found stabbed at Matilda’s house and she is missing. The team know Matilda well enough to know she had nothing to do with Scott’s attack and would only be missing for a serious reason and find out she has been kidnapped. First thoughts point to the begrudged Steve Harrison, who blames Matilda for his life failings and being locked up for life in a max security prison. He makes no secret of his hatred. Steve is questioned but is he really behind Matilda’s disappearance? Meanwhile a body has been found in a car deserted in the woodland, it is one of three missing sex workers and Sian fears her ex-husband and serial killer Stuart is to blame. Stuart denies any involvement in this death. The forensic team discover more bodies in the vicinity and the team are getting a bit to close to the truth for the killers liking. As always, such an eventful, rollercoaster plot. Twist upon twist as the story develops. Even without Matilda being present, this book really works as the characters and team are so well developed and likeable that you can really relate to the emotions they are going through. Just when you think Michael Wood has peaked, he succumbs all expectations with this instalment.
