Pure Evil: The gripping and twisty new 2023 thriller from the Queen of Crime Drama

Product Information

Stepping in to help Ridley could also have implications for Jack's career, but having seen Jack in action over the course of the series, there's no one I would rather go to for help either. It’s written during the aftermath of the pandemic where everyone is still supposed to be wearing masks but in truth some are, some aren’t and I tired of the dialogue surrounding this. We find him investigating the murders of young girls but also the disappearance of his boss, DCI Ridley, who seems to be off work but nobody knows why. But after chapters of this homely stuff on showering, eating dinner, drinking wine, bathing baby, lovelife, and reading copious notes on suspected murderer/paedophile Rodney Middleton late into the night I was getting restless for some progress but no such luck. Then a character decides to celebrate their pregnancy by pouring glasses of wine for the happy expecting couple?

The sub-plot involving DCI Ridley is another great story and is testament to the writing skills of the author that she can include two stories of equal value in one book. DC Jack Warr’s instinct, however, tells him that there is more to this crime than meets the eye and is determined to find out what secrets he is hiding and what other crimes he has committed. I like this new Jack, focused on his investigations and trying to be team player, emphasis on trying. Last year she sent a couple of your books,this year a couple more, including WIDOWS REVENGE,but this is the second one in the series,so cannot read it yet I am now hooked on them, have you any idea where they are available here. There’s just the right balance between his home life and the case and it’s at his home with his wife, daughter and mother you see how likeable he is and it contrasts so well with Jack at work.Quote regarding Jack and his illegal use of Holmes police database “Jack knew that many officers did the same. An absolute gifted author who denounced aspects of our society that need shinning on and will leave you thinking of the book long after you finish it.

I loved the little glimpses into Jacks home and personal life which I feel give his character more depth, and thought the ending very fitting for the story. Entwining police procedure, forensic science and offender psychology, the plot unfolds at a lightning pace while adeptly juggling intricate detail and emotional depth.That said, the main story is self contained so you could read stand alone, but you would be missing out on all the character background and development if you do this.
