Kill Your Boss
Jack Heath
Reviewed by Helen
I loved Kill Your Brother and Kill Your Husbands and I loved this one, it is witty and a very smart mystery and had my mind turning in so many directions and I thought I had it all worked out till the very end, it was good catching up with Detective Kiara Lui who has just come back from her honeymoon to her wife Elsie, enjoy your visit to Warrigal.
DS Kiara Lui has just broken up a fight between two locals outside the publish library when a body falls from the roof and hits the bike rack and it is only her first day back and she has a new probationary constable Ben Higgins to help with the investigation, is it suicide, did he fall or was he pushed.
The more people who are questioned the more questions she has it appears that the murder victim, Neville Adams is the library boss and is not a very nice person so the main suspects seem to be the people who work for him, if it was murder is there only one perpetrator or is there more, are they working together? Oh the twist and turns in this one is this death linked somehow to the young woman who went missing a few months before?
This one is twisty and witty with so many suspects all with good reason to kill their boss, the characters are fabulous and DS Lui has her work cut out for her she gets herself in danger a few times and her new probie Ben is learning fast he too gets in the path of danger with Kiara, this is one that I highly recommend it certainly had me turning the pages and I do hope that we visit Warrigal again.
