Product Description

Book Description

A Forensic Psychologist Jill Kennedy and DCI Max Trentham mystery.

Product Description

When two young boys find a woman's body in a quarry, Jill Kennedy and DCI Max Trentham experience a definite feeling of déjà vu.

Five years earlier, four women were found murdered in exactly the same way. Weirdly, the bodies had each been discovered wrapped in a shroud - so the killer was soon dubbed 'The Undertaker'.

Following Jill's profiling the police tried to arrest a loner called Edward Marshall, but the man had fled and, after a high-speed car chase, lost control and went over a cliff. His car was found but his body never was.

Now there are three possibilities: Marshall somehow survived that plunge into the sea; Marshall was innocent and the real killer is back - or a copycat is at work. It is up to Jill and Max to work out whether a terrible mistake was made by the police five years ago... or whether the original murderer had an apprentice waiting in the wings.

This is the first book I have read by Shirley Wells, and it did not disappoint. The story starts with the discovery of a body laid out in a ritualistic fashion reminiscent of the work of an earlier serial killer, The Undertaker, who is now supposed to be dead. The leading characters are Jill Kennedy, a police profiler and DCI Max Trentham. They have an on-off relationship which I believe is carried on from a previous book, along with the history of The Undertaker. The characters, even the more minor ones, are very believable and interesting, each with individual foibles and habits. This is particularly applicable to Jill, with her interest in racing and wine. The plot is tightly drawn, very credible and moves at a fast pace. It held my interest throughout and made me want to know what happens. It is well-written and makes me want to read more by this author.

engaging police procedural 3 May 2009
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Two boys find a female corpse in a nearby quarry. Her neck was slashed, a red ribbon with a wedding ring tied to the victim, who was wrapped in a white sheet. Forensic psychologist Jill Kennedy and Lancashire Detective Chief Inspector Max Trentham are shocked by the MO; five years ago the pair brought an end to the murdering horror of the serial killer the Undertaker; the suspect Eddie Marshall died in a police car chase when his vehicle went over a cliff. Although his corpse was never found, the killings ceased until now.

Jill and Max look back at their conclusions to the Undertaker case wondering whether the original profile was wrong and Marshall was an innocent, but using Holmesian logic ask why then did he run? They also ponder whether he could somehow have survived going over the cliff, which both agree is impossible. Neither premise seems right leading to the profiler and the cop to wonder if Marshall mentored his replacement.

The third Kennedy-Trentham police procedural (see INTO THE SHADOWS and A DARKER SIDE) is an engaging serial killer whodunit. The tone differs from the previous books because this time the relationship between the lead couple never connects as each is much more introspective due to the fears they fumbled the case five years ago. Readers will wonder did they make a tragic mistake or was Marshall preparing his replacement.
