Summary

No one liked Jake Kinsey. A rich man, he turned up out of nowhere, acquired Exmouth’s trophy penthouse flat, and then bought his way into the local rowing club. And now he’s dead.

D/S Jimmy Suttle, a newcomer to the Devon and Cornwall force from his old job on Major Crimes in Portsmouth, is the one detective who suspects that Kinsey has been killed. His boss, beset by budget cuts and the pressure of other cases, needs to move on. The enquiry is dead in the water.

Suttle’s wife, embittered by the move to a remote country cottage, is threatening to decamp with their daughter, Grace. Worse still, the deepening shadow of a killing related to Jimmy’s old life in Pompey is creeping ever closer.

Not much detecting

For a supposed detective novel, precious little detecting goes on as the majority of the book deals with the protagonist's marriage. If you like people navel-gazing at the state of their marriage then by all means listen to this book. If you like police procedurals then look elsewhere.

I didn't enjoy this

The language was too crude and rudimentary for me. I listened to it all but was disappointed with the ending.

reasonable read

The ending was a bit of a damp squid but this book is less about the detective work and more about human interaction, if your a fan of the gentler detective books then you will probably enjoy if your a Val McDermott kids of person then not so much.
