Product Description
Synopsis
This is the new Charlie Woodend mystery...Angela Jackson, a young girl abducted from Whitebridge Corporation Park, has been missing for over twenty-four hours and, in the opinion of Dr Stevenson, the psychiatrist who Woodend turns to for advice, her kidnapper will first torture and then kill her. Woodend is aware of the damaging strains operating within his own team. Inspector Bob Rutter seems unable to control his infatuation with the unscrupulous journalist, Elizabeth Driver, while Sergeant Monika Paniatowski, is rapidly developing a deep affection for Rutter's small daughter, Louisa. And, Woodend's old enemy, Chief Constable Marlowe, is hovering in the background like a malevolent bird of prey, just waiting for the chief inspector to make a mistake. The more the investigation proceeds, the less Woodend can see any signs of hope. And he knows - deep within himself - that he will fail in bringing Angela back alive.

Crime fiction generally speaking deals with murder. Death Watch by Sally Spencer certainly deals with murder, but does so in such a way that you realise, perhaps for the first time, that there are crimes which are far worse than that ultimate act. The cover blurb suggests that Sally Spencer's writing is "as finely plotted as Minette Walters". Well it might well be, but in my opinion it's much more readable. The plotting is tight and skilful but also allows you to care about the people involved. The reader becomes angry on behalf of the characters, urges them forward, and rejoices with them at the denouement. Aspects of this provocative novel are far from comfortable, Spencer grabs you by the throat and won't let go. At the end you feel quite wrung out, but also strangely comforted.
