Detective DCI Tom Caton
Setting     Manchester
Time        Immediate
Genre       Police Procedural

This is the latest Tom Caton and the first I've read since starting this blog. Set in Manchester the locations are recognisable, which adds to the enjoyment.

This one leads Caton into investigating three murders with a similar MO, all eventually linked to a form of cyber crime and on line bullying. Discoveries of one the victims on line activity leads to a final extra element to the plot with Caton's son from his first marriage exposed to a paedophile ring.

All this is set in the week leading up to Caton's wedding to his current partner. The relationship here has developed gradually through all the novels
