Review
'Real people, real problems... Staincliffe writes brilliantly and compassionately about the things that matter' Literary Review 'Struggling single mother Sal Kilkenny is compassionate, gutsy, bright enough to know when it's clever to be scared and tenacious as a Rottweiler. Cath Staincliffe's tour of the mean streets and leafy suburbs of Manchester reveals the city as the natural successor to Marlowe's Los Angeles' Val McDermid
Product Description
Finders keepers, Losers weepers...'Back in June, the same week that I'd just found one person, two more went missing. None of them related. The only connection was me; Sal Kilkenny, my job; private investigator. And finding people seemed to be the flavour of the month.' Janet Florin has been gone for almost a week. Her husband, Mark, reported her missing when she failed to collect their two young children from school and a family friend, Trisha Marlowe, desperate for news of Janet, hires Sal to track her down. What could possibly have led Janet to abandon everything she holds dear? Ramin's brother, Berfan, is missing, too. A failed asylum seeker, likely to be returned to Iran, has he disappeared to escape deportation? His brother says not. And when Sal hears that Berfan has been seen in Manchester, the chances of finding him look promising. Sal has already traced Bob Swithinbank's birth-mother, though whether Sandra Patefield will ever agree to meet Bob is another matter...Meanwhile, as the summer kicks into gear, the temperature is notched up on the domestic front when Sal's housemate, Ray, wants to share much more than just the chores. Sal Kilkenny is back in this eagerly awaited new novel about separation, secrets and the search for truth.

Missing, Cath Staincliffe,

This review is from: Missing (Paperback)
I really liked this book, engaging without being too violent. If you come from Manchester, it strikes bells, but not everyone will be happy with her views on parts of Manchester, they are a bit depressing. Overall the book was very readable and I look forward to her next.

Love Cath Staincliffe's books!,
By Berengaria N (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Missing (Paperback)
Cath Staincliffe has become one of my favourite authors, mainly for her Sal Kilkenny series.
An amiable private eye in Manchester, Sal juggles life as a single mother with all the usual trials and tribulations whilst solving unusual and rather down-to-earth mysteries for down-to-earth people, and some that prove to be not so down-to-earth. The cases seem simple on the surface (or even unsolvable, as in the case of TOWERS OF SILENCE) but Sal soon finds much more than she bargained for. The story of MISSING I found a cracking read and is thoroughly recommended. Her BLUE MURDER series (since made into a TV series starring Caroline Quentin)are the similar trials of a woman juggling a career and children and Cath's easy style is eminently readable. Check out Cath as one of the MURDER SQUAD crime writers group.
