DI Charlotte Savage #7
Puppet: A DI Charlotte Savage Novel
"It's about making them do what you want. Left hand, right hand, a little jig with the legs..."
When the daughter of a top police officer is murdered in mysterious circumstances, DI Charlotte Savage is brought back from suspension to solve the case. The trail leads to a former asylum, now home to a sinister religious community where all is not what it seems.
Meanwhile, newly promoted DI Darius Riley is part of long-running drugs operation Tarquin , but after an informer is brutally killed, the investigation is in danger of collapse.
Are there links between the two cases, and what can a long-dead Hungarian toymaker, renowned for his realistic puppets, possibly have to do with the murders?
It's up to DI Savage and the team to find out who's pulling the strings…
Praise for the DI Savage series
‘A nail-biting thriller that will keep your pulse racing all the way to the explosive climax.’ Alex Kava.
‘A wonderfully twisty maze.’ James Oswald.
‘A fast-paced serial-killer chiller.’ Alex Marwood.

I love Charlotte Savage.
I have to admit I initially thought I was losing the plot, a lot going on all at once, but I stuck with it and glad I did..
Loved it.. the twist at the end I never expected!
To those who gave up reading this.. you missed out..
More from Savage please

The best yet
Mark Sennen at his absolute best by a long way. Gripping from start to finish with all the twists of Agatha Christie.

Don't usually read novels that aren't historical fiction. This was a good read!

Very good story but another book set in England with English characters by an English author but proofread by someone who is obviously American due to the number of Americanisms in the text.
