Summary

In the dead of night, a quiet community harbours deadly secrets.

Two startled shop assistants find the body of well-known businesswoman June Bennett hanging in a shop premises she owns. As suspicion falls upon her husband, the investigation takes an unexpected turn when the team uncovers "spin-off" parties of a more scandalous nature.

Tension escalates as the killer taunts Drake with chilling photographs from the scene of a second murder, attracting a deluge of media attention.

Looking Good Dead is the twelfth book in the dynamic Inspector Drake crime series. If you like police procedurals, clever mysteries, and gripping thrillers, then you’ll love Stephen Puleston’s unnerving whodunit.

I’ve enjoyed this series from the start. The performance has been great and has kept me engaged.
After 12.5 stories, the recurring characters and the Welsh places feel like familiar friends.
There were plenty of good twists and turns in this story and I haven’t yet beaten Inspector Drake to the denouement. My only reservation is with the loose ends in the narrative — having learned that victim costume was an important profiling clue it felt almost incidental to the conclusion (and how the task was achieved is just one of those mysteries left to suspended disbelief).
Overall - well worth a listen.
