This is Where I Say Goodbye

Inspector Carlyle #12

by James Craig

His father is dying.
He's stuck in the middle of a gang war.
And he has to solve a case with no clues.
Welcome to the world of Inspector John Carlyle.

Work goes on the backburner for Inspector Carlyle as he tries to manage his father's final days. But when the drug dealer providing the old man's pain relief ends up dead, London's least conventional copper finds himself in the middle of a vicious East London turf war. Meantime, he is supposed to be dealing with the case of a young woman found badly beaten in an alleyway. With no idea who she is, and no clues as to her attacker, he has to get help from some unlikely sources.

The Title Resly Fools You

The title & summary makes you think something awful will happen. Carlyle or Silver get killed, their families are targeted. A real page turner to the very end.

[Robert Samuel]

Good follow on in the series.

Good part of the series but some off the cases seem to be unfinished. Just have to wait for the next one to see where we go. The side story with Carlye, his dad and Dom is a good addition.
Over all the series has maintained the quility.

Not my usual genre, but was enjoyable to read.

Slightly better than the first Inspector Carlysle novel I read. But still does not engage my imagination.
