Alison Bruce

The Calling

Detective: Gary Goodhew
Setting      Cambridge
Time         Current
Genre       British Police Procedural

This is the third in the Alison Bruce/Gary Goodhew series and although Bruce claims in the afterword to be pleased with the plot she has constructed, there are times when it gets a little too convoluted to follow. A serial killer leaves women unmolested, fully clothed, trussed up in remote locations leaving them to die of starvation or exposure to the elements. The likely identity of the killer is revealed early one and the main puzzle in the readers mind is whether or not a key young woman is his victim or his accomplice. This one doesn't quite work.
