Book Review : The Meating Room by TF Muir (not for the weak stomached but definitely for Police Procedural fans)

The Meating Room by TF Muir This is quite graphic in bits- not for the weak stomached

This is a serial killer book with a difference.  When a prominent business man is found dead (thought suicide) in his car in a remote woodland area near St Andrews, the police immediately want to notify his wife.  However on arrival at the family home they discover his wife and two children murdered.   His wife has had large areas of skin removed from her body.  Initially the suspicion is that he murdered his family and then committed suicide.


 

However, the business man’s links with Magnor a man under suspicion of multiple rapes going back years make Detectives Andy Gilchrist and Jessie Janes suspicious and being a bit of a renegade Gilchrist decides to do some digging on his own.

 

The Meating Room as the title would suggest has its gory elements and in bits is a bit gory.  However I enjoyed the relationship between the two lead detectives and the fact that Muir created a tense macabre story.

Another Tartan Noir special.
