Missing: The Body of Evidence
The Body of Evidence is a gripping X-FILES type, dark crime thriller. A story of government secret experiments and deceptions, and one woman’s determination to discover the truth.
When rookie LAPD Detective Nancy Roberts is called to the scene of a fire and the remnants of a body are discovered, CSI can’t be sure if it is the result of a suicide, accident, murder, or.... Well... kind of something else. One thing is for sure, don’t expect the norm.
The CIA declares an interest and points everyone on the investigation in the direction of a freak accident. Nancy doesn’t buy the theory of spontaneous combustion put forward. Her own unconventional investigations point her in a different direction and into a world of psychics and government mind-control experiments, but they are curtailed when she is framed for being on the take.
Suspended and under orders not to continue with the search for answers, threats to her life and those she holds dear force her in a race against time to clear her name. But will she avoid death long enough to prove her innocence and to uncover the truth behind the strange events?
Emotionally charged and gripping from the very beginning to an extraordinary and unforeseen, though satisfying twist at the end. It doesn’t get much better than this. An uncompromising and compulsive thriller from Declan Conner.

Attention getter
Another of Conner's books that I thoroughly enjoyed. A lot of action and twists, even though some were predictable. A couple of inconsistencies and grammatical errors but not enough to be overly distracting.

Strange
I liked this book especially the beginning. As I read on toward the end it got a little confusing for me.

The typos were numerous and detracted from the overall enjoyment of the book.

How many of could read every word of this book?
Too many catastrophes! This book should have been closely edited in order to make it more interesting. Had to scan. Boring!

After finding 4 mistakes in the first 8 pages I packed this in at 2%. If the author can't be arsed to proofread it or get it properly edited I can't be bothered reading it, I'm afraid.
To write a CSI-based tale and spell Luminol as luminal was pretty awful, then pretty-head gained a needless hyphen, this sentence gained a semicolon which I wondered about, too-"All that remained; was the blackened chrome frame..." and then the final straw was a trashcan peddle mentioned. Enough.
I had downloaded another by this author but I've deleted that as well.
Update-September 19th:
The author kindly sent me a reformatted version which I started yesterday. Those errors I'd already advised were all cleaned up but there are sadly many more that haven't been !!
There were some commas missed along with missed apostrophes. Being was replaced by been, face by faced, then commas added needlessly, in was missed from a sentence...
Then self-satisfying-smug was mentioned a couple of times. It doesn't need all these hyphens-there's usually only one between sef-satisfied where I've ever seen it written. Again a hyphen was randomly added in six-months and then I gave up again at 13% this time when Claire suddenly changed to Clair.

Newly minted detective Nancy Roberts has trust and relationship issues. Her police career has been filled with subtle and not so subtle forms of discrimination. When she is assigned her first solo investigation (a fire that almost completely destroyed the body) her observations don't add up but her boss and the CIA declare that the case is closed and the investigation over. Nancy isn't buying it and defying orders she continues her own investigation only to encounter resistance at every turn. Who can she trust -- her boss, boyfriend,father, former partner?
Her search for truth leads to an internal affairs investigation, the murky world of government experiments, and psychic events.
No graphic sex or violence

Spooks as in spies, astral projection, fire starters, secret government plots, this book has it all, including a detective who refuses to quit. For the majority of the book you're left guessing as to who the good guys really are, and it made for an interesting and entertaining read.
