Format:Paperback
In an authentically depicted modern Manchester, Cath Staincliffe's creation Sal Kilkenny is a likeable Private eye facing the problems of single parenthood.
Brainchild of BLUE MURDER, Cath writes wonderful down-to-earth mysteries which touch on the nastier aspects of what the police deal with every day - drugs, underage runaways and homelessness but writes sympathetically about it . A worried mother later wants Sal to investigate the reason why her son has disappeared - I confess I did confuse this part with a similar theme in her Towers of Silence (where a mother engages Sal to find out why a truculent and monosyllabic teenager who won't stay at home) - and the answer to both those scenarios in each book is definitely one Sal really have preferred to wash her hands of.
Staincliffe's uses the ordinariness of people's lives in suburban middle-class Britain to great effect. Great stuff. Highly recommended.

I like the Sal Kilkenny mysteries and have read several. This, I think, is an early one, if not the first in the series but Cath Staincliffe immediately catches the gritty northern atmosphere in and around Manchester. Sal is a private investigator who really just wants to work cases about husbands and wives cheating on each other, or simple missing persons cases. However this missing person case is not so simple and draws her into the dangerous world of pimps and drugs in seedy nightclubs. The characters are well portrayed and the storyline is good. Perhaps it is not as good as some of her other stories but nevertheless it was enjoyable and well worth taking on holiday.
