Book Review: Blood Lines by Angela Marsons

Angela Marsons is rapidly becoming one of my favourite UK writers and with her fifth novel Blood Lines my enthusiasm shows no signs of abating.  Blood Lines is a fantastic book and one of the main pulls for me has to be the battle of wills between DI Kim Stone and her nemesis Dr Alexandra Thorne... a truly magnificent battle worthy of any Star Wars movie!!!


Seemingly random victims are killed by a singe stab wound.  The absence of any links between the victims makes the task of finding the perpetrator seem impossible.  However, Stone's dedicated team delve deep to find the trail of crumbs that link the victims. 
Kim Stone herself is a delightfully complex character - vulnerable yet strong, passionate yet reserved, sympathetic

yet tough.  Her relationships with her colleagues are nuanced and all the more believable because of that.   Blood Lines is a triumph for Marsons putting her up there with the likes of Val McDermid and Peter May.  Can't wait for the next one.
