HTML: Before his disgraceful dismissal from the police force, Dylan Scott worked undercover to get close to notorious drug dealer Joe Child. Now, Dylan works as a P.I.--and Child heads up a religious commune near Dawson's Clough. But after two girls go missing from the refuge, the cops need Dylan's help to find out if Child is saving souls as a cover for something more sinister. The investigation means going back undercover as a petty crook--a tough gig for a detective who has recently worked some high-profile cases in Lancashire. Even on a remote farm, Dylan's in constant danger of being recognized. Not to mention the strain his long absences have put on his family life. Still, Dylan won't rest until he finds the missing girls. But the longer he looks, the harder it is to tell the sinners from the saints. And the truth may be more than this bleak northern town can handle. A Dylan Scott Mystery 94,000 words .Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

The mystery in this book is about teenaged young women who have disappeared. Dylan goes undercover to investigate whether a former criminal turned religious type, Joe Child, is involved. Dylan knew him when he was undercover in the police force and he's able to go and stay on Child's commune while he investigates. Both women spent time there before they disappeared. My tolerance for murder mysteries that involved the killing of young women and girls is not high these days, so it wasn't one of my favorite setups, although Dylan is enjoyable as ever.
But I found Dylan unbelievable and frustrating in the home-life storyline. He has to be away from London even more than usual, and Bev needs him when she starts feeling ill and the doctor starts doing a lot of tests. At first, Dylan refuses to believe anything much is wrong, and even when he gets concrete news, he is in denial and weirdly cheerful. Maybe this just hit too close to home for me, but it just didn't ring true. He really loves Bev and worries about her, but here he acted like a jerk. I get denial, but this felt worse than just that.
I don't like where the storyline with Bev is going. Why can't a mystery protagonist have a decent home life? Is there some sort of law against it? Grrr. ( )
