Deadly Highlands #3
Death in the Black Wood
A DCI Keane Scottish Crime Thriller
Murder can happen anywhere, even close to home. And that is exactly what happens to DCI Conall Keane and his cousin, Shay, when a corpse is found less than two miles from their new home in Dores. Worse yet, this is clearly no ordinary crime, the body ravaged with terrible precision. Clearly the work of a madman... or a serial killer. Either way, it is clear this murderer will kill again.
So, now, it's a race against time. Can Conall and Shay find the killer before they strike again... or before they become the next targets?

About the author
Oliver Davies
77 books16 followersOliver Davies was born in Sussex and raised in London, but never felt at home until he settled in the soggy but beautiful Yorkshire dales. Brought up on crime novels borrowed second-hand from his dad, he's always wished his life involved less laundry and more car chases, though writing is probably safer. Between tussling with his several dogs and rambling the moors, Oliver finds time for writing moody police detectives, playing the guitar, and occasionally even communicates with the outside world.

Good storyline
Although I enjoyed the first three books, I ignored the mention of renewable energy, however as I started to read the fourth book in the series I found the pushing of wind farm and dubious facts about the renewables to be far to much. Especially when we currently see the panic in the UK regarding power supply.
Add to that the majority of these wind farms are made in China and are a blight on the landscape.

Clever twists
A different take on the crime novel with plenty of twists and turns throughout. Strong central character with a novel angle on the outside support in the shape of DCI Keane’s tech wizard cousin.

Brilliant ending. Although not expected.
At last an ending a lot of us would like to see in the real world. Justice served right way.

Could not get into this book , kept jumping chapters, hoping it would get better but obviously not my cup of tea. Sorry.
