Book review: Dead Pretty, the most recent offering by cheeky chappy David Mark (release date 28th January 2016)
As
we’ve come to expect, sensitive DI Aector McAvoy has immersed himself in the
hunt for a missing girl that he fears may have been murdered. His rapport with the girl’s family and his
compassionate nature make McAvoy a welcome
change from the hardboiled detectives
we see so often in crime fiction. His
innocence and the effects it has on the other character’s is refreshingly heart-
warming.
The welcome return of his wife, Roisin is a huge
bonus. Her character is lively, straight
talking and her disregard for authority is humorously written
His relationships with fellow officers, his boss Trish
Pharaoh and his family are at the heart of this novel. So, when DSU Pharaoh starts acting out of
character and is under attack from Reuben Hollow, a wrongly convicted man who
seems obsessed with her, McAvoy’s loyalties are tested.
Intriguing and beautifully executed.
Available in Amazon Kindle £8.99 or H £12.99
