Book review: Cast Iron by Peter May,- an intriguing Enzo MacLeod thriller! (Jan 2017)

For those of you out there who are unfamiliar with the Enzo Macleod series, a quick explanation is in order.  Enzo drunkenly took up the mantel to solve all seven cold cases highlighted in a True Crime book.  Cast Iron is Enzo's investigation of the Lucie Martin case.  Years ago Lucie went missing and then some years later during a drought her body was discovered.   All evidence seems to point to a convicted serial killer...

I felt Cast Iron slightly lacked the humour that I found so

endearing in the earlier Enzo books. However, the darkness that replaced the humour was palpable as Enzo struggles with a variety of family issues.  
I love the forensic element to the Enzo files and adore the forays around France - it's like an armchair holiday for me and I find myself wanting to grab a nice Bordeaux, lie back and indulge.
As usual May has created a cast of characters that come to life on the page, as well as revisiting some old favourites. A fast paced plot with plenty of action.  Something for everyone.
Highly recommended  as a light read.
