"'refreshingly original...Mariner is a wonderful character' Liza Cody"
Product Description
DI Tom Mariner's home life is beginning to look more and more settled. There's talk of a move to the country, even kids. Mostly, of course, it's Anna doing the talking, and for once Mariner isn't running for the hills at the thought of commitment. But the quiet holiday season is shattered when, on the day of a community carol concert, an explosion rocks the centre of Birmingham. Running behind schedule, Tom and Anna are caught up in the aftermath of the event, but others are not so lucky, including DS Knox and his girlfriend. However, no one knows if the tragedy is accidental or another random act of terrorism. Meanwhile, as friends and colleagues struggle to deal with the after-effects of the explosion, an unexpected reunion with an old friend thrusts Mariner into the unofficial investigation of a violent double murder to which he is inextricably linked. Mariner enters a world of corruption where the boundaries of justice are blurred, making it impossible to distinguish between friend and foe.

I have only read one other Chris Collett D.I. Mariner novel (which was ok but not great especially as I solved the case well before the end!) and I found this one very slow and unexciting. The "hero" seems to be more of a narrator than a participant in the action and I found that I didn't much care what happened to any of the characters. I probably wouldn't choose this author again.

This is the third Tom Mariner book in the series and while as detective stories they will stand alone, if you are interested in Tom Mariners home life, you have to read all three to follow the plot. I thought this one was far better than the second book Blood of the Innocents. Tom gets involved with a bomb blastand a dead politican and before he knows what's happening he's drawn deeper the cases than a police officer would normally. Read it and see for yourself.
