The latest installment in the DI Clare Mackay series is Seventh Heaven
Marion Todd is a St. Andrews based novelist who with the help of her publishers, Canelo Crime, has produced a great series of detective novels featuring the forthright DI Clare Mackay as she navigates high profile crime cases upon the streets of the famous Scottish town.
The latest case which pushes Mackay to the limit is about the mysterious disappearance firstly of solicitor Harry Richards and then the discovery of his corpse. What follows is a typically labyrinthe case that has many twists and turn as Clare discovers Richards was not the straight laced figure he appeared to be.
While the case gets more involved, Mackay must also contend with personal relationships as the blossoming relationship with her boyfriend continues apace and the possibility of moving in together looms.
What sets Todd's novels apart from others is the camaraderie of Mackay with her colleagues, it paints the loyal serving police force in a positive light with no bent coppers on this force.
Something I have noticed for the first time is how well Todd writes about her hometown, with a real eye for landscape and the feel of nature, this is a writer who loves where she lives and wants to share that love with her readers.
Gripping as always and page-turning to the maximum, A Blind Eye does not disappoint and as ever this reader can heartily recommend this crime thriller to fans old and new.
A Blind Eye is out 8th June from Canelo Crime on all platforms.
