Product Description
A taut psychological thriller from the bestselling author behind the popular Wire in the Blood TV series
When career criminal Jack Farlowe's body is found washed-up on a Suffolk shore, it looks to the police like a clear-cut case. Broken-hearted at his daughter's death, he has drowned himself – good riddance and one less crime to solve, according to CID.
Then again, maybe not. For, one by one, Farlowe's enemies are being killed. And the horrific manner of their deaths makes drowning look like a day at the beach…

This is my first review of a Kindle Book, as I am totally new to the concept etc.
Being new to it, I downloaded first free books and cheap ones to get to understand the priciples.
But even though this book was only 93p I would not bother spending it had I known how "abridged" it was.
I am a great fan of the author, and have read many of her novels. But this version is just not up to her normal standard.

This is a short story by Ms McDermid and as usual is crime related.
The tale begins with the murder of nine year old Katie who is the daughter of a known crime boss. Unfortunately no one has ever been able to find any evidence to arrest him but this new turn of events seems to have left him broken and when his body is found floating in a river its case closed. Things take on a new twist when all of his former enemies start to die in very gruesome ways.
Well written with several twists for such a short book.

I am currently reading this book in "Large Print Edition" and in my copy, the name of the character is Jack Farrell and NOT Jack Farlowe! Has anybody else noticed this error? It's really putting me off reading the story!!!
