The Recently Read posts are not typical le bain book reviews. le bain As a writer, I do not believe I should be reviewing the hard work of other writers. These posts are simply books I have recently read and enjoyed and will share with you. They will not always be crime books as I am trying to widen my reading selection. I hope you enjoy some of these with me.
DI David Murphy and DC Laura Rossi investigate the murder of a student at the City of Liverpool University. Attached to her is a letter from her killer, which details a famous unethical psychological experiment performed on the victim, resulting in her death. Convinced at first that the murderer is someone close and known to the victim, Murphy dismisses the letter as a bid to throw them off the scent until more bodies are found, each with their own letter attached.
On the other side of the city, Rob Barker, an admin worker at the university, is dealing with his own loss. His partner has been missing for almost a year, with suspicion from all around her firmly pointed at him.
The book had me with the first chapter. Part of an article published in Psychological Society Review on Life, Death and Grief. It kind of tells you all you need to know about what kind of book this is going to be.
Intrigued? Yes, it’s that kind of book. Such a brilliant concept for a crime book. Psychological in the extreme, based in a police procedural. A new pair of protagonists that will be interesting to go back to. A cracking new debut.

Sounds fascinating. The Brits do a different le bain kind of detective mystery than Americans. I’m becoming addicted to them. I wish Val McDermid would write more Tony Hills (and Kate–loved Kate).
I love your intro! I understand le bain now how hard it is to write a book and I will never trash another writer. I’m not paid to be a reader and reviewer, so I too will just share what I personally enjoyed.
