Book Description

Publication Date: 18 May 2006 | Series: Quick Reads

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…

2.0 out of 5 stars CLEANSKIN 27 Sep 2010
By Funboyslim
Format:Kindle Edition
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars not bad 7 Aug 2006
By RD VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant 20 Jan 2013
By Claire Brown
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Fast paced but then you would expect it being a quick read. I'm a big fan of the author and wasn't disappointed at all. In fact, I read this one Sunday afternoon. Likeable main character and it would be good to see more of him in her future books (a change from Tony Hill perhaps)??
The story itself is about the main character finding who murdered a villains daughter. As usual, Mc Dermid writes with twists and turns to the story which are believable and left me thinking "what a shame" at the end.
Buy, you won't be disappointed!
