Product Description

Review

'Excellent, always practical detective work... Staincliffe's novel is unmistakably her best, with writing that gives Britcrime its heart, mind and soul. Accept no substitute; this is the real thing.' Phillip Oakes, Literary Review 'It's always exciting to see a writer get better and better, and Cath Staincliffe is doing just that.' Val McDermid, Manchester Evening News


Product Description

Christmas is put on hold for Manchester private eye, Sal Kilkenny, after she reluctantly decides to investigate the death of a mentally unstable mother, Miriam Johnstone. The coroner's verdict is suicide: yet a grieving family and Sal's own suspicions suggest otherwise. Why would a woman so petrified of heights choose to jump from the top of a multi-storey carpark? Sal also has a personal dilemma. When should she introduce her daughter Maddie to new boyfriend, Stuart? Later, Sal accepts another case from a distressed single mother. Yet the results of Sal's enquiry into the troubled teenager's life are puzzling, and before long she is led in unexpected directions that will take her closer to danger and heartbreak than ever before...

4.0 out of 5 stars Manchester noir, 27 Aug 2002
By Dr. Sn Cottam "Steve the medic" (Preston, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Towers of Silence (A Sal Kilkenny mystery) (Hardcover)
In the stressful and busy countdown to Christmas, Sal Kilkenny, Manchester PI and single parent, is asked to re-open the apparantly hopeless case of a black woman who fell to her death from a central Manchester multi-story car park. Against her judgement that she can add nothing to the official investigation, Sal takes the case and a trail of dark secrets and murder opens up...At the same time, deception and lies of a different type are at the root of the subplot case, involving an apparantly truculent teenager bunking off college whose worried mother asks Sal to investigate.

This is an enjoyable and well-told tale of ordinary people's lives set against an authentic Manchester background with a likeable and resourceful heroine.

Recommended...enjoy!
