- Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta.  SquirrelHead | Dec 7, 2020 |   DC Darin has now been promoted to Detective Sergeant, and is acting up as Detective Inspector while her boss, DI Stewart Tipping, is off sick. She has only just returned to work herself after a period of sick leave following a serious injury as she wrapped up her last case. Since her team is not busy, she re-opens an old case at the request of DC Owen Bates - the murder of eighteen-year-old Angelica Brock. New eyes on an old case, and with new forensic techniques available, they hope to uncover a new clue to the murder's identity. A new case comes in; probably an accidental death; but all is not what it seems, and this enquiry questions the findings in another recently closed case. The team are now running two separate investigations, and one might involve a serial killer. Can they prevent another murder? As with O'Brien's previous DC Darin stories, I was hooked almost immediately. There were a number of threads in the investigations to follow which kept me on my toes, and I enjoyed learning more about the main characters. Fallen Angel is well-written, and the plot is intriguing. I was also invested in the personal lives of her team, and following on from Book Two, I wanted to know whether Gaby would entertain her colleague's affection or not.

As there seems to a lull in crime in Llandudno, DI Darin and her team look into old cold cases. Her right hand man and friend Owen Bates brings her the case about Angelica Brock. She was found in a remote area with her white blonde hair spread around her like a halo, dressed in an old white nightdress which was not her own and curled in a fetal position. There wasn't DNA to help then.
The case from over 20 years ago looked like a random killing but as the team goes over the old case notes connections appear with other unsolved murders, too many to be coincidence. There are good surprises woven into the storyline and I very much enjoyed the detectives' interaction with one another. I am especially fond of the medical examiner Rusty Mulholland.
Thank you to Netgalley for the complimentary copy of this book. This was published 20 November 2020 and is the third book in the Detective Gaby Darin series. I was not compensated for my review.
